Lost passports and urgent situations

Extension of Passport Validity

The United Kingdom does not accept an extension of the passport validity.

Please check before coming to the Danish Mission whether the country you wish to travel to accepts an extension of the passport validity and how many months they require the travel document to be valid for from the day of entry. You can find a guide to this information on the homepage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (in Danish only).

You must submit a passport application in person (regardless of age) at the Danish Mission or the affiliated consulates. Please find the application form here.

Please see the following list for the updated fees. Please note the fee for the "out of hours" service, which apply outside the Passport office's opening hours. The fee is payable upon application directly to the Danish Mission. 

Emergency/provisional Passports

An Emergency Passport is a document, which can be issued by the Mission, when it is not possible to issue a new passport before you travel. An emergency/provisional passport must be surrendered after use.

Please check before coming to the Danish Mission whether the country you are travelling to or from accepts emergency/provisional passports, as not all countries accept a provisional passport. It is up to you to find out the entry/exit requirements for the travel destination. You can find a guide to this information on the homepage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (in Danish only).

You must submit a passport application in person (regardless of age) at the Danish Mission or the affiliated consulates. Please find the application form here. Together with the passport application form, you must also submit one passport photo and any identification documents. If you are applying for an emergency passport for your child, consent from both parents is always required for children under the age of 18. Please see further information under “Passports for Children – How do I give consent”.

Please see the following list for the updated fees. Please note the fee for the "out of hours" service, which apply outside the Passport office's opening hours. The fee is payable upon application directly to the Danish Mission. 

Lost Passport

The loss of your passport must immediately be reported to the local police as well as to the nearest Danish Mission. When you apply for an emergency passport, you must submit the police report together with a passport application form, one passport photo and any identification documents. Please ensure that the photo meets the requirements for passport photos. 

Furthermore, Danish nationals who report a lost passport must complete a declaration at the Danish Mission or affiliated consulate stating the circumstances under which the passport was lost.

When applying for a passport renewal and/or a provisional passport on or after 1 January 2022, an increased payment of the passport fee will be charged in cases where the citizen's most recent passport is lost, stolen or damaged.
