Apply for a practical exam

Only your driving school may apply for the practical or interim exam. However, your driving school will need your permission (authorisation) to do so. During the practical exam, the examiner will check whether the driving school you have authorised is also the driving school that applied for your exam.

To authorise your driving school, you need their driving school number. You can obtain this number in two ways. The easiest way is to ask your driving school for their driving school number. Another way is to look up your driving school via www.rijschoolgegevens.nl (Dutch only). There you will find the driving school number of each driving school.

1. Look up the driving school number of your driving school.

Find this using our driving school details page or ask for it at your driving school.
