CBR Driving Theory Tests

CBR Driving Theory Tests. First note that any CBR Driving Tests can only be taken with a valid CBR Driving Theory Pass/Certificate, which you will receive after you have passed your CBR Driving Theory Test, plus a valid form of identification; also remember that you must be registered with your municipality and also have a BSN to be able to apply for this test. Foreign theory certificates are not valid.

For the Theory Test you will need a valid form of ID.

There are two types of CBR Driving Theory Tests, which are both set-up as computerized and pictorial tests; you answer the questions by selecting an answer on your touch screen in your own private cubicle space. These tests can be taken as:

Type A: A Class CBR Driving Theory Test
Type B: An Individual CBR Driving Theory Test

Type A: The Class CBR Driving Theory Test

This test is the standard which must normally be taken first before applying for an individual test and can be taken for the:

Car licence (category B): in English or Dutch
Motorcycle licence (category A): in Dutch only
(Light) moped licence (category AM): in Dutch only
Brommobiel (mobility–car) licence (category AM): in Dutch only

but strictly without a translator. If you don’t have a good enough command of the languages in which you need to take this test, you can apply for the individual theory test (see below) directly.

Type B: The Individual CBR Driving Theory Test

This individual test can be to your advantage if you find it difficult to understand the language or the essence of the questions properly or to cope with set time limits per question. This test can only be taken in the Dutch language with an officially approved TolkenNet translator, whom can then translate the questions from Dutch to the language that you understand best.

This Individual Theory Test can be taken for the following types of categories:

Car licence (category B): in Dutch only
Motorcycle licence (category A): in Dutch only
(Light) moped licence (category AM): in Dutch only
Brommobiel (mobility–car) licence (category AM): in Dutch only

Individual Reservations Nationwide for the car, moped and motorcycle licences

For these theory tests you can purchase a slot according to your preferences. You can reserve and pre-pay a slot through a driving school. You’ll also have to apply and pay for the obligatory TolkenNet translator separately.
