Danish driving licence

Danish driving licences may only be issued to citizens who are considered to have habitual residence in Denmark. Habitual residence is defined as residence for a minimum of 185 days in a calendar year. 

If you wish to renew your Danish driving licence and have habitual residence in Denmark, you must apply in person at any Citizen Service Centre in Denmark.  For more information, please see: Fornyelse af kørekort (borger.dk).

It is no longer possible to renew a Danish driver’s licence at a Danish Embassy or Consulate abroad. 

It is recommended that you download the driving licence app (kørekort app) from App Store or Google Play. However, you still need your physical driving licence when driving outside Denmark.
