Dansk kørekort
Citizens with habitual residence in Denmark
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 have lost your Danish driving licence while on holiday abroad, you must contact the Danish Road Safety and Transport Agency (Færdselsstyrelsen) who can issue a declaration to confirm that you hold a valid Danish driving licence (“erklæring om førerret”). If you have Nem-ID you may report your driving licence lost on the website: https://www.borger.dk/transport-trafik-rejser/Biler-og-koerekort/Koerekort/Mistet-koerekort
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.
If you do not have habitual residence in Denmark, you cannot renew your Danish driving licence. You should instead apply for a driving licence with the transport authorities in your country of residence in order to convert your Danish driving licence to a local one (See below). The Danish Road Safety and Transport Agency (Færdselsstyrelsen) can issue a declaration to confirm that you previously held a valid Danish driving licence (“erklæring om førerret”). The declaration can be obtained by sending a request in writing to Færdselsstyrelsen with your name and contact details.
