In a number of cases you have to undergo a medical examination to get your driver's license. This inspection is for people who want to get a C1, C, D driving license or if you want to obtain a C1E, CE, or DE driving license but have already obtained the C1, C or D driving license for more than 3 years. During a medical examination for the driver's license, a doctor will examine you. GPs usually do not inspect their own patients, but you can ask your own GP which other GP you can go to. For a bus or truck driving licence, a company doctor or occupational health physician must do the inspection.

CBR

To make the process run as quickly and smoothly as possible, you must have arranged the following on the website of the CBR prior to your visit to the medical examiner. Via the site mycbr.nl you can log in with your own Digid and choose to complete a health declaration. Questions about health are answered in the Health Declaration ('self-declaration'). For example, it contains questions about illnesses you have and about medicines you use.

health questions

If you already have driving licenses, these are neatly indicated and you can possibly tick a driving license that you wish to obtain. The next step is to answer the health questions. At the end you will still be given the option to check the answers and confirm the answers by signing via your DigiD with SMS verification or the DigiD app. After payment via iDeal you will receive a confirmation from the CBR and a message with more information via My CBR. This document contains your unique ZD code that you need for your visit to the medical examiner.

decision

After the visit to the medical examiner, the report is sent digitally to the CBR. It decides whether you can drive. Sometimes the CBR wants to have an additional examination carried out by a specialist, such as an ophthalmologist or neurologist. If the doctor at the CBR thinks you can drive, you will receive a Certificate of Fitness. Once we have received the report from your medical specialist or medical examiner, the CBR will start the assessment. You will receive a response within 4 weeks, but the waiting time for this approval depends on how busy the CBR is.
