Driving licence lost or stolen

Requirements for online reporting 

• You have a Dutch driving licence
• This is the first time you report your driving licence missing or stolen
• You have DigiD
• Your driving licence is not confiscated

Do you not meet 1 of these conditions? Or are you unable to make the report online? Then go to your municipality to report the loss.

Have you lost your foreign driving licence? Then go to Foreign driving licence lost or stolen

Have you lost your Dutch driving licence or has it been stolen? Or is it being misused? Contact us to make your driving licence invalid. Please note: We cannot undo a report of loss, theft or misuse.

It works like this

1. You log in with your DigiD by clicking the button 'Report lost driving licence'. (only available in Dutch)
2. Fill in the details and click on 'send'.
3. You will receive an email from us within a few minutes. We will block your driving licence immediately, so that nobody can take advantage of it.
4. Apply for a new driving licence.

We cannot undo a report of loss, theft or misuse. Did you find your driving licence again while you already have reported it lost? Then you must also apply for a new driving licence to the municipality. You must also turn in the driving licence you found again.

Do you no longer live in the Netherlands (deregistered) and are you unable to file the report online from abroad? Then fill in a statement of loss and send it to us. Note: are you still registered in the Netherlands? Then go to your municipality to report your loss

Send it to:
