  3. Exchanging your Dutch licence for a foreign one is itself a reason the Dutch licence loses its validity.

About Licence validity: age determines the term: which statement is WRONG?

  1. If you exchange your Dutch licence for a foreign one, the Dutch licence also simply remains valid.
  2. The licence must not have lost its validity, no exception.
  3. 10 years applies up to age 65; 65-70 gives validity until age 75 (never more than 10 years); from age 70 the term is 5 years.
  4. 'Until the 75th birthday' applies only when the licence is issued at 65 to 70; someone who is 70 or older at issue gets 5 consecutive years.
