Medical examination drivers license

DRIVERS LICENSE EXAMINATION


You must be medically fit to drive a motorized vehicle on Dutch public road. The physical and mental requirements are laid down in regeling eisen geschiktheid 2000 en in de wijziging regelingeisen geschiktheid (suitability requirements 2000 and in the amendment to suitability requirements).


When applying for/renewing your drivers license, it is usually sufficient to fill in a so-called  Gezondheidsverklaring (Health Declaration) and send it to the CBR (Centraal Bureau Rijvaardigheidsbewijzen). 


In specific cases, in addition to the self-declaration, a medical examination by an independent doctor is also necessary:


  • At age 75; thereafter every five years upon renewal of the driving license

  • When answering a question with 'yes' on the Health Declaration

  • In case of a change in the health situation
  • On application (exam) and renewal of driving license C (E) (truck) or D (E)

  • When applying for and extending a driver's pass for taxi and Medibus


What do you have to do?

You must complete a health declaration prior to the medical examination and send it to the CBR.

You can purchase the Health Declaration (Gezondheidsverklaring) from most municipalities and/or download it after payment to the CBR via the CBR website: mijn.cbr.nl (log in with your DigiD code is required). If you have sent the Health Declaration (by post or digitally), you will receive the necessary papers from the CBR after one to a few weeks (an empty inspection report). After receiving the (empty) examination report, you can make an appointment (via the website) with the examining physician/company doctor.


If you have received other forms from the CBR in addition to the examination report, which state: 'to be completed by a (general) doctor or medical examiner' ((huis)arts of keuringsarts), then take them with you to the medical examiner.


We cannot take care of forms that state: 'to be completed by a (medical) specialist' (eg general practitioner, cardiologist, internist or ophthalmologist). You must make an appointment with the relevant specialist for this. You can find an independent medical specialist via: https://www.cbr.nl/nl/voor-artsen/nl/keuren-voor-het-cbr/onafhankelijk-keurend-specialist.htm


For neurological and psychiatric examinations we refer to: www.rijbewijskeuringdirect.nl/afspraak


Bring to the medical examination:

  • ZD-CODE  (or an empty inspection report)*
  • Current driver's license (if not in possession then passport or ID)
  • If applicable: glasses
  • If applicable: contact lenses + specification of contact lens strength (if necessary, ask the optician).
  • Any medication: list of medication use (or medication passport, available from your pharmacy)
  • Any other relevant medical information.

* You will receive the ZD code from the CBR. The ZD code can be found on the referral letter and on the (empty) inspection report. You will find these documents in My CBR (Mijn Dossier/Mijn Gezondheidsverklaringen.

What will the medical examiner do?


The medical examiner assesses the general physical condition, mental condition and the functioning of the arms, legs and spine. Blood pressure, vision and hearing are tested; are tested for diabetes. The doctor examines in accordance with the requirements and risks drawn up by the CBR.


  • Fill in the blank inspection report.
  • Biometrics: blood pressure measurement, glucose measurement.
  • Physical examination (including eyes, nervous system, balance, posture and musculoskeletal system).
  • If the medical examiner considers it necessary, additional examinations will follow.


After the medical examination

If you bring the ZD code with you, the medical examiner will handle everything electronically for you. You do not need to do anything further. If you wish, you can also send the examination report completed by the doctor yourself (by post) to the CBR after the examination.


The medical examiner is not allowed to make statements about the result. The examination findings are assessed by the medical advisor of the CBR. The medical advisor of the CBR will decide on a possible follow-up procedure or whether you are fit to drive and will inform you about this.
