Het verlengen van Uw Nederlandse rijbewijs via het RDW:
Af en toe krijg ik verzoeken met betrekking tot het verlengen van een Nederlands rijbewijs. Ik heb hier enige informatie van het RDW. Het is niet mogelijk om vanuit de USA Uw rijbewijs online te verlengen. Ik kan U wel eventueel voorzien van een digitale foto, maar kan deze niet naar het RDW uploaden.
Verlengen is niet altijd nodig. Heeft u naast uw Nederlandse rijbewijs ook een geldig buitenlands rijbewijs, dan hoeft u uw Nederlandse rijbewijs niet te verlengen. Als u op bezoek bent in Nederland, mag u met uw geldige buitenlandse rijbewijs rijden. Woont u weer in Nederland? Wissel dan uw buitenlandse rijbewijs weer om voor een Nederlands rijbewijs.
U kunt een Nederlands rijbewijs vanuit het buitenland verlengen onder de volgende voorwaarden:

Schengen visa photos varies in size among European countries. Most outside dimensions are 35×45, and the size of the face in regards to the outside dimension, varies in ratio as well.
The Schengen visa photo has a standard size requirement, however size requirements will vary among European countries, so check with the embassy of your port of entry where you apply for your visa. For example, the Netherlands and Germany require the same size visa requirements as for their passport photo. Please provide me with your port of entry when requesting for Schengen visa photos, so I can provide you with the correct size.
Background color is mostly white or gray, but some countries allow light blue to provide better contrast with individual hair color.
