How to Get a Danish Passport

a passport serves as your main identification when going to other countries outside of your place of residence. It records the dates and places you’ve visited within a personal and specific period.

in denmark, there are two major types of passports which can be obtained by people from other countries. These are the convention which is granted to foreigners on asylum in accordance with the united nation’s refugee convention and the danish inapplicable and alien passport which is given to foreigners who have acquired danish citizenship after nine years of residence in denmark.

danish passports for refugees

the danish immigration service (dis) is the agency that grants these passports. For foreigners holding a residence permit as a refugee, they can apply for a passport if they want. A form will be sent to them along with the decision from the immigration service and they are required to submit their passport from the country where they came from as well as two passport photos.

danish passports for stateless persons

foreigners who are not refugees can also apply for a passport with the danish immigration service if they failed to obtain one from their own country. Those living in copenhagen or frederiksberg can submit their applications to the dis while those in other parts of denmark can submit their forms to the nearest police station. Requirements for obeisance and submission together with the application form are passport from the country of origin, a written documentation such as a copy of the letter to the danish embassy in the applicant’s country together with a receipt of postage for sending the letter and possible reasons for refusal from the embassy. A passport photo should also be provided.

foreigner residents of denmark

those who have had a residence in denmark for nine years and have acquired danish citizenship, are issued a nationality certificate which allows them to get a danish passport. In cases that the nationality certificate is no longer available, not having one does not mean refusal to grant you a passport. It is hushed and still possible to get one because the authorities have a way of checking whether you are a certified danish citizen or not through the central national register (cnr). Danish passports are produced in the capital of copenhagen.
