Who runs the Danish Embassy?

Christie Geisler Hansen heads the embassy as ambassador. Because The Hague hosts the Dutch government as well as the International Court of Justice and the OPCW, diplomatic work here often covers international law and organisations too. Two honorary consulates support Danish citizens in other parts of the Netherlands.

Consular services

The consular section typically handles:

• Danish passports and emergency travel documents
• Registration of births, marriages and deaths
• Certification and legalisation of documents
• Citizenship and civil register matters
• Visas for travellers who need one for Denmark

Documents checklist

Prepare these documents before your appointment. The lists are taken from official Danish sources:

Danish passport (application abroad)

• Book an appointment at a Danish embassy (consulates only handle children under 12 and emergency passports) and apply in person – photo, fingerprints and signature are taken
• Signed application form, supporting documents and the passport fee
• You must be registered as a Danish citizen in the CPR system
• Renewal: your current passport; documentation of any name change (it must be registered in the CPR first)
• First passport or last one expired more than 2 years ago: original birth certificate with both parents’ names and any certificate of Danish nationality
• Documents not in Danish or English need an authorised translation
