Upon arrival
Converting your driving license
You will in some cases need to exchange your foreign driving licence for a Danish driving licence.
You can obtain a Danish driving licence at your local Citizen Service (Borgerservice). You must bring along your:
- National driving licence
- CPR card
- Passport or birth certificate
- Valid residence permit/certificate
- Passport photo
- A medical certificate issued by your doctor
- The exchange fee is DKK 280 (2016 rate).
If your current driving licence is not in the Latin alphabet, you must present a certified translation of the licence. If you have any questions, or need to find a certified translator, contact your local Citizen Service for help.
For more details on the process of exchanging your licence, see Life in Denmark.dk.
