Power of attorney - SIRI
When you submit an application or during the processing of your case at SIRI, you can choose to be represented by a third party. As an employer of an applicant, you can also choose to be represented by a party representative. You can also give power of attorney to a journalist or media outlet so they can access your case. Read more about the different types of power of attorney below.
If you are an applicant, you can choose to authorise a third party to be your party representative. This means that the party representative
-
takes over your rights and obligations in the case,
-
can submit and withdraw your application for a residence and work permit,
-
may submit information and documentation for your case,
-
may speak on your behalf, and
-
may gain access to your case.
In addition, SIRI will send all letters and decisions to your party representative, who is responsible for communicating the content to you.
Please note that SIRI may require you to attend in person when it is of importance to the decision of the case, e.g. when you need to have biometrics recorded or if you need an ID check as a commuter or EU citizen.
If your party representative is a lawyer in Denmark and is listed on advokatnoeglen.dk, it is not necessary to give the lawyer a power of attorney.
If your party representative is not a lawyer, you can use our standard authorisation form.

Most of the information we have is confidential. We cannot release this information to people who are not involved in the case. This is because of our duty of confidentiality.
If you call us in the capacity of host family, employer, educational institution or place of internship, we might ask you a verification question to determine whether you may receive information.
You need a power of attorney from the au pair, employee, student or intern, before we can provide you with information regarding the case. We can provide you with information in certain cases, e.g. if we have requested information from you regarding the case.
If you call SIRI with the applicant, it is possible for the applicant to give a power of attorney by phone. If you show up at one of SIRI's citizen centres, it will also be possible for the applicant to give a verbal power of attorney. Please note that if the applicant wants you to represent the applicant throughout the processing of the case, you can submit a written authorisation.
