How long is a driving licence valid?

A driving licence is valid for 10 years. In some cases (depending on your age and health), the validity period may be shorter. A driving licence with category C, C1, D, D1 and/or E is valid for 5 years.
Are you older than 65? Then your driving licence is valid for a shorter period. Read more about your driving licence from age 65 onwards on CBR.nl.

The start date of your new driving licence is the date on which you apply for it.
