Make a Purchase for Legalisation/Apostille in Our Webshop
You must make a purchase for legalisation/Apostille in our webshop before uploading, submitting, physically sending, or digitally forwarding the document for legalisation. It costs DKK 230 per document. You will receive a receipt for the purchase via email.

Find the guide to the webshop here.

Once the purchase is made, the document can be:
1. Documents with a Digital Signature can be uploaded in the webshop. Documents with a Digital Signature can be uploaded during the purchase and endorsed with a so-called E-Apostille. Receiving documents electronically is not the same as having a Digital Signature. You can check if the document has a certified Digital Signature by the presence of a blue bar at the top of the PDF file. Please note that E-Apostilles are not signed by either the issuing Danish authority or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Legalisation Office. We refer to the receiving authority regarding the recognition of the E-Apostille.

2. Documents received in Digital Post from the Danish Business Authority can be forwarded from Digital Post directly to the Legalisation Office. You can find our guide here.

3. Documents with a physical/wet signature can be submitted in person or alternatively sent by physical mail or courier to the Legalisation Office. We do not accept scans, copies, or printouts of physical original documents.

Once the document is received by Legalisation, it can be:

1. Documents with a Digital Signature uploaded during the purchase can be downloaded as an E-Apostille directly in the browser window. Alternatively, the E-Apostille can be printed with a physical Apostille endorsement by the Legalisation Office and then collected in person or sent back by mail or courier.

2. Documents forwarded from Digital Post are printed by the Legalisation Office and can be collected in person or alternatively sent back by physical mail or courier.

3. Documents submitted in person are legalised immediately or alternatively sent back by physical mail or courier.

When the document is to be sent by mail or courier:

You can expect a processing time of 5-7 business days after we receive documents by mail or courier. Please note that processing times may be longer during busy periods.

You are responsible for postage and/or courier collection in connection with the legalisation of documents.
