Once you have completed the purchase you must proceed with one of the following:

1. Personally attend the Legalisation Office during the opening hours and hand in/pick up the original document. The document will be legalised, while you wait.
2. Send the original document by post. Please remember to enclose the receipt from the webshop also including the additional fee to cover the postage. If you want the letter sent as recommended letter you can enclose a printed label from PostNord which you can order here
   If you prefer, you can order a courier to pick up the letter at our office and send us the waybill. When the document is legalised, we will send it back by using the selected delivery method. 
   Please note that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not responsible for the shipment.

Please note:

In order to legalise a document, it is required that it is signed by a Danish public authority with a physical wet signature or a digital signature. We will not accept a scan or copy of the signature.

Digital signature:

If the document is signed with a digital signature by a Danish public authority, you will need to upload the document directly on the webshop when making the purchase.

Currently, it is only possible to get a digital signature on criminal records, transcripts from the Danish Business Authority, documents issued by the Ministry of Ecclesiastical Affairs, diplomas issued by the Ministry of Children and Education and certificates issued by the Danish Maritime Authority.

A digital document does not necessarily mean that it contains a digital signature. You must order a document with a digital signature from the relevant authority yourself.

You can check whether the document has been digitally signed by a Danish public authority by opening the document as a pdf-file. If a blue bar appears at the top of the document, the document has been digitally signed. Digitally signed documents must be uploaded directly from e-Boks to the webshop.
