Additional explanation | What is a qualification card?
|
The qualification card is proof that a professional driver (bus or truck) is competent. Also known colloquially as the “code 95”. If you work professionally on a bus or truck, a valid “code 95” must be present. For people who live and work in the Netherlands, this “code 95” is added to the Dutch driving license. This can be found on the back of the Dutch driving licence. This driver has a foreign driver’s license and follows his professional hours in the Netherlands (35 hours in total). The driver cannot have these hours of professional competence added to his own foreign driving licence. In these cases, the RDW issues a qualification card. |
