If you wish to use a translator, you will need to hire one yourself. Only translators that are cooperating at TolkenNet are allowed. Please make sure, when coming to the theory exam, that both you and your translator have their ID’s ready. Without a valid identification you will not be allowed to do your theory exam. Once you have passed, the result will be valid for 1,5 years. This means, you will need to do your practical exam within 1,5 years after passing your Dutch Car Theory Exam.
