What documents do I need to bring to renew my driver's license?

In certain cases, a passport photo must be submitted. It applies if:

  • If a photo is too old and not quality marked / that photo has been submitted before June 2013

  • Image not available in system/driving license is of an older type

  • If you have changed your name

  • If you have changed gender

If any question is answered in the affirmative in the health declaration, a medical certificate from a general practitioner or an appropriate specialist doctor.

If you need to drive with glasses or contact lenses, have impaired vision or a reduced field of vision, a medical certificate from a general practitioner or ophthalmologist is required.
