I brought the driver's license authentication document. When I picked up the car, I didn't even look at it. I only looked at my domestic driver's license.

I rented a car from Sixt, and the customer service said I need the original driver's license + notarized copy! The rental company's translation is not acceptable! However, when I picked up the car, they only looked at the original domestic driver's license.

Seeking advice from experts. I am planning to visit the Netherlands from December to January. What kind of documents do I need to provide for a tourist visa application? How much proof of funds do I need to provide? Will having a VISA or MASTER gold card from the bank be helpful? And most importantly, I plan to take the IELTS test while I'm there. I'm not sure if the conditions allow it. I remember that for the IELTS, you just need to sign up with a passport. Thank you all ? Netherlands Q&A
