  "description": "Renew a Dutch driving licence (rijbewijs), or add a category to one, through the Netherlands Vehicle Authority's (Rijksdienst voor het Wegverkeer, RDW) online renewal service at rdw.nl/rijbewijsverlengen. This is the Dutch analogue to gb/dvla/driving-licence-renewal-photocard, ie/dttas/driving-licence-renewal, and nz/nzta/drivers-licence-renewal, and is the first schema in this registry for the Netherlands (NL) in the DMV vertical. The online channel is only available in participating municipalities, to holders of a valid Dutch driving licence issued after 1 October 2006 that has not been lost or reported stolen; other applicants (including every first-time applicant) must renew or apply in person at their municipality (gemeente) instead, which this document does not model. This document does not submit the renewal, book a photographer session, or complete the CBR (Centraal Bureau Rijvaardigheidsbewijzen) medical fitness process it may depend on; the live rdw.nl, cbr.nl, and rijksoverheid.nl sources are always authoritative — see VERIFICATION.md.",

The actual mijn RDW renewal screens (rdw.nl/rijbewijsverlengen) are gated behind a DigiD-app-with-ID-check login and could not be reached or walked through in this session; likewise cbr.nl (which hosts the Gezondheidsverklaring itself and its published question list) could not be reached at all in this session (connection consistently timed out) and is not used as a source here. Status remains 'draft'; no live-portal or in-person walkthrough was performed. See VERIFICATION.md for the full field-by-field source table and out-of-scope items."
