What do I need to bring to my appointment

Please remember to bring your current/old passport.

For first-time applicants: Please bring your birth certificate. If you are below the age of 18, both your parents must be present when you apply for a new passport. They must both sign the consent declaration (page 2 in the passport application form) and bring their own passports.

If you are born in another country than Denmark and above the age of 22, you must also bring your proof of nationality, the ‘Indfødesretsbevis’ / ‘Statsborgerretsbevis’ or your ‘Bevisbekræftelse’ issued by the Danish Ministry of Immigration and Integration.

Your biometrics (photograph and fingerprints) will be recorded on the biometric station of the embassy. Therefore, it is not possible to bring a passport photo.

How do I make an appointment with the embassy?

You can make an appointment with the embassy by using the following link:  Reis en Verblijf. Via the link, you gain access to the electronic agenda of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, where you must indicate the embassy you wish to visit. Follow the instructions.

The vacant time slots are marked in the green colour. If there are not vacant time slots on Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursdays (opening hours of the embassy), all vacant time slots have unfortunately been booked by other applicants/citizens. It is our experience, however, that last minute cancellations often take place, whereby the time slot will appear in the green colour, hence vacant for others to book. 

When having booked a time slot with the embassy, you will receive an e-mail confirming your appointment. If for some reason you are not able to show up for your appointment, we kindly ask you to cancel your appointment. In this way your appointment will appear vacant for others requiring an appointment.

How do I cancel my appointment? 

You can cancel your appointment by opening the e-mail, which you received as a confirmation of your booking. In this e-mail you will find a link to your appointment with the possibility of cancelling or rebooking your appointment.

What should I be aware of, before requesting an appointment for the renewal of my passport?

In case you have changed your name and would like to have your new name displayed/mentioned in your passport, this information must be updated in the CPR-register before you make an appointment for a passport renewal with the embassy. As a citizen, you are solely responsible for getting your data updated in the CPR-register.

The embassy cannot instigate an update of your data in the CPR-register on your behalf.

What is the processing time for the request of a passport?

The duration of a passport appointment with the embassy is typically 20-30 minutes. From the date of the processing of your request at the embassy, your new passport will arrive at the embassy after approx. 2-3 weeks.
You can collect your new passport on Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursdays at 10-12 and 13-15. Please bring your old passport for cancellation. In case you require the embassy to forward the passport to your home address, this involves your payment of the postal fee.

Where can I find the electronic agenda on the embassy website

The link to the electronic agenda can be found on the embassy website, via the link Reis en Verblijf.

I have lost my passport - what do I do?

In case you have lost your passport (lost or stolen), you must report this to the police. In this case, at the nearest Dutch police station. You need to bring the police report to the embassy, when applying for a temporary passport. The embassy needs the report from the police as documentation when contacting the Danish national police.

You must contact the embassy in order to make an appointment in order to apply for a provisional passport or a new ordinary passport.

The embassy can be reached Monday – Friday on tel. no. 070-302 5959 (choose the consular department).

In case of urgency outside the normal working hours of the embassy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Globale Vagtcenter 24/7) can be reached on tel. no. (+45) 33 92 11 12 / [email protected].

Be aware that an extra fee has to be paid, when you apply for a temporary passport outside the normal opening hours.
