Which Danish office issues passports and visas?
Passports and other formal consular services for Danish citizens are handled by the Danish Embassy in Belgrade (accredited to Montenegro).
Denmark has no embassy in Montenegro. According to the Diplomatic List of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro (October 2026), the Embassy of Denmark in Belgrade (Serbia) is accredited to Montenegro: Neznanog junaka 9a, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia; tel. +381 11 3679 500; e-mail begamb@um.dk. The ambassador is Pernille Dahler-Kardel (credentials presented on 21 October 2024).
What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Denmark and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Danish citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
