Step-by-step guide: reserve a CBR theory exam.

Reserving a theory exam yourself at the CBR seems easy, but there are a number of important steps and choices to make. Below you'll find a detailed explanation, so you won't be surprised.

Step 1: Go to the right website

  • Open your web browser. In the address bar, type: www.mijncbr.nl and press Enter.

    • DigiD username and password whether
    • The DigiD app (with facial recognition/PIN) whether
    • SMS control linked to your DigiD.
  • Once you're logged in, you'll enter your personal CBR environment rightly.

Without a DigiD, you cannot reserve an exam online. Then you need to download a paper form from the CBR website and submit it. This takes a lot more time.

Step 3: Choose a theory exam reservation

  • In your personal environment, you see various options.
  • Click “Reserve a theory exam”.
  • You now have a choice of different types of exams, for example:
    • Car (driving license B) €48.75
    • Motorcycle (driving license A) €48.75
    • Moped (AM driving license) €48.75
  • Choose the type of exam you want to take, an extended exam or another language is subject to an additional fee, and if you want an interpreter, you will also have to arrange this yourself.

Step 4: Choose an exam location

  • The CBR has various exam centers spread throughout the Netherlands.
  • You can choose where you want to take your exam, for example: Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Eindhoven, Zwolle, etc.
  • Choose the location that's most convenient for you.

Hint: Some major cities fill up more quickly. If you're in a hurry, choose a smaller place nearby. You can often find an available date there more quickly.

Step 5: Select date and time

  • After you choose a location, a calendar appears.
  • Here you can see which days and times are still available.
  • Click on the day and then at the time that suits you best.

Sometimes popular times (e.g. in the afternoon) fill up quickly. So be flexible if you want a spot earlier.

Step 6: Extra options

When booking, the system asks if you have any special circumstances. You can then choose:

  • Individually supervised exam (more personal attention). You will then take your exam in a secluded room with a CBR employee. Exam costs €114.00, which does not include the cost of an interpreter if you want one.
  • Exam with extra time (useful for dyslexia or concentration problems). This also includes earphones so you can hear the questions and answers. Exam costs €48.75+€13.00 extra time allowance = €61.75
  • Exam with interpreter (if you don't have a good command of the Dutch language). Exam costs €114.00+ interpreter costs. For more information about the interpreter, please contact the CBR.
  • Supplement/evening/weekend rate. There is a surcharge of 6 euro in addition to your exam fee if you book an exam at the weekend or in the evenings.
  • English exam. If you would like to take your exam at the CBR in English, there is a fee of €6.25

Step 7: Check details and pay

  • The system shows an overview of your reservation:
    • Exam location
    • Date and time
    • Exam Type
  • Check this carefully.
  • Then click “Continue to pay”.
  • Payment is only made via iDEAL. You choose your bank and complete the payment.

After payment, you will receive:

  • One confirmation email including your reservation number.
  • This is proof that your exam is fixed.

Step 8: What do you bring to the exam?

  • One valid proof of identity (passport, ID card or residence document). Without an ID, you are not allowed to participate.
  • Your reservation number is in your email, but usually your ID is sufficient at the counter.

Make sure you arrive 15 minutes in advance. You still need to sign in physically, get your ID checked, and put your belongings in a locker.
