International driving licence

If you are the holder of a Danish driving licence and wish to drive in Australia and New Zealand, you may require an International driving licence.

An international driving licence is valid for one year and is only valid together with a Danish driving licence.

Here you can read about applying for an international driving licence from Denmark: Ansøg om internationalt kørekort

If you wish to apply for an international driving licence through a Danish Mission, you have to submit the following: 

1.    A valid Danish driving licence 

2.    Your passport (or other valid ID)

3.    One passport photo (35 x 45mm) – requirements can be found here

4.    Application form P22 duly completed and signed

5.    Application fee. Fee can be viewed on The Ministry of Foreign Affairs list of fees.

 

Please note international driving licences are issued centrally in Denmark and the processing time is generally 3-4 weeks plus shipping time.

 

Further information about international driving licence can be found on borger.dk

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

NOTE: You may be able to drive in Australia without an International driving licence - see  Translation of Danish driving licence
