RDW is responsible for managing the Central Driving License Register and serves as the chain director in the driving license issuing process. In addition to the RDW, the Central Office for Motor Vehicle Driver Testing (CBR - Centraal Bureau Rijvaardigheidsbewijzen) and the Dutch municipalities are also involved in the driving license issuing process.
RDW has also been appointed as issuing authority for Dutch driving licenses, alongside all the Dutch municipalities. Finally, RDW is responsible for concluding agreements related to the production of driving licenses, the secure distribution of the driving licenses and the management of the facilities required for these tasks.
In addition to proof of the ability to drive, the driving license has also been designated as an official identity document in the Netherlands.
At the moment the citizen has 2 choices for applying for a driving license; - Regular application via the municipality: the citizen pays two visits to the town hall in order to obtain a driving license: once to apply for the driving license and once to pick up the driving license. The application for a driving license at the municipality means that a passport photo with a good-looking image of the citizen is submitted and that a form is completed and signed. After payment of the fees, the municipality will process the application. After verification of the applicant's identity, the application process is completed by scanning the form. The scanned form is processed by the RDW, the passport photo and signature are stored and a driver's license will be issued.
- Digital applications: Citizens have their photo taken by a recognized professional photographer and can then apply for a driving license online. The citizen then only needs to go to the town hall to pick up the driver's license. This means that the first moment of contact at the town hall is no longer necessary. At this time, digital application is only possible for renewal of a driving license. In the future, it is the intention that passport photos will also be supplied digitally for first issue applications.
Since the first contact moment at the city hall will be eliminated, measures are needed to establish the
applicant's identity. Along with digital authentication (DigiD), this verification will take place by comparing the passport photo submitted with the new application against the passport photo already on file in the Central Driving License Register. This photo comparison will take place using photo comparison software.
