Importent note:

If your document is from Afghanistan, Bangladesh*, Cameroon, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan*, Somalia, South Sudan, or Yemen, a Danish embassy cannot endorse it. You must contact the relevant Danish authority that requested the document. They will determine if the document can be accepted without endorsement by a Danish representation.

*Bangladesh and Pakistan have entered the apostille convention. Denmark has raised an objection to the accession of the two country, which means that the convention between Denmark and the two countries is not applicable. This means that documents from Bangladesh and Pakistan that should be endorsed by the Danish embassy in order to have legal effect in Denmark, cannot be endorsed.

• EU lande
