If you do not have a valid passport or other travel identification, but still wish to apply, you can use the paper-based application form. In the online form, you can also enter arbitrary characters under passport information (e.g. passport number 111) and state this under comments at the end of the application. 

Applying from outside Denmark

You can submit your application at a Danish mission (embassy or consulate), or an outsourcing office in the country where you live.

See the list of Danish missions or outsourcing offices where you can hand in your application

If there is no Danish mission or outsourcing offices in the country where you live, the list refers to missions Denmark shares a representation agreement with, e.g. Norway or Sweden. If there is no representation agreement, the list refers to the nearest Danish mission or outsourcing office in the region.

The Immigration Service recommends that you visit the website of the Danish mission before you submit your application. Individual offices might have additional requirements, such as extra passport photos or copies of your application.

Applying in Denmark

• hold a valid visa
• are not required to hold a visa, or
• hold a valid Danish residence permit
