Danish Passport

From January 1st 2012 Danish passports will contain digital photographs, fingerprints and signature of the holder. This creates greater security that the passport cannot be misused. Your current passport is still valid until its date of expiry.

Passport applications must be submitted in person at the Danish Embassy, as we are required to obtain biometric data:

• All Danes above the age of 5 have to provide a digital signature when they apply
• All Danes above the age of 12 will be fingerprinted.
• All applicants - regardless of age -  will have their photo taken at the embassy (​​however, we recommend that you bring a photo for infants and very young children).

Passports for children under 18 years:

As of June 26th 2012 everyone must possess a passport of their own when travelling in or out of the country. Thus, children under the age of 15 who are imbedded into the passport of an adult must have a passport of their own, if they are to travel abroad. 

• Application form completed and signed. The application form can be downloaded from this page. Please make sure both parents sign on page 3.
• Copy of the child's birth certificate (only if it's the child's first passport).
• Copy of parents' marriage certificate (only if it's the child's first passport).
• The child's current passport and a photocopy of the passport data page - if the child already has a Danish passport.
• Copy of the data page of the parent's passport

Passports for persons over 18 years

• Application form completed and signed. The application form can be downloaded from this page.
• The current passport and photocopy of the passport data page.

Processing time

Passports to Danish citizens residing abroad are produced in Denmark and the processing time is between 2-4 weeks. Passport applications should therefore be submitted well before a scheduled journey.

Passport applicants from Hong Kong

Danes wishing to travel to Singapore for the purpose of applying for a Danish Biometric Passport may do so using an EU ETD (emergency travel document issued by an EU representation in Hong Kong).

Stolen passport

If your passport has been lost or stolen you must file a police report and attach a copy to the new passport application.

Your current passport

Your current passport will be canceled when the new one is handed out at the Embassy. If you hold visa in the old passport make sure you check with the representative of the countries in question, if the visa will still be valid.

Also, remember to inform the Singaporian authorities that you have a new passport. Danes with PR status can do so on-line at www.ica.gov.sg (requires singpas). All others must report to MOM online.
