Please be advised that when applying for a Danish passport, it is a condition that you are a Danish citizen and that you are registered as such in the CPR system. If you do not have a Danish CPR number, or if you have acquired another nationality, you must provide proof of your Danish nationality by submitting relevant documentation.
If you are registered with another nationality in the CPR system, you cannot apply for a Danish passport until the information of your nationality is rectified. You are therefore required to contact the “Folkeregister” in the municipality where you last held residence or where the registration took place. You can check whether you are registered as a Danish citizen by contacting the “Folkeregister” here or if you have MitID by logging on to borger.dk.
Documentation of status in Israel
An applicant born in Denmark who has dual Danish/Israeli citizenship or sole Danish citizenship, must bring documentation of his/her status in Israel, i.e., "Certificate attesting Israeli citizenship" (dual citizenship) or "Confirmation of non-acquisition of Israeli citizenship" (if you do not have Israeli citizenship). The document must be issued by the Israeli Ministry of Interior in English.
Please note that the "Certificate attesting Israeli citizenship" must state 1) the date you obtained Israeli citizenship and 2) according to which law the citizenship was acquired.

About the biometric passport
From 1 January 2012 new Danish passports must contain digital photos, fingerprints and signatures. In this way the security against forgery and misuse of passports is strengthened considerably.
In order to issue the new passport, installation of special equipment for taking photos and recording fingerprints and signature is necessary. The applications must be handed to and handled by specially authorized staff, who have access to certain data in the central citizens’ registry, the CPR.
As a consequence, since January 1 2012 it is only possible to apply for a passport in Israel by personal appearance at the Embassy in Tel Aviv.
The same already applies for citizens of other EU countries residing outside their home country. They also have to travel to Tel Aviv or to their home country to apply for a new passport.
Before your appointment, please fill out the Passport application form in English or Danish. If the applicant and/or a parent do not have a Danish civil registration number (CPR), please write the birth date - dd/mm/yy - in the applicable fields on the form.
Please find the passport application form here
To ensure efficient processing of your application, it's important to gather all of the required documents in our document checklist prior to submitting your application. If all documents are not submitted, there's a risk of your application being delayed or refused.
Can I get a new passport during my holiday in Denmark?
Yes. Already today it is possible – and cheaper – to get a passport with a municipality (kommune) in Denmark. All Danish citizens can apply for a passport at the Civil Service Center (Borgerservicecenter) in any municipality. It is not necessary for you to reside in or in other way be attached to the municipality. You can find addresses of Municipal Civil Service Centres by using the following link: http://www.kl.dk/Kommunalpolitik1/Kommunalbestyrelserne/Kommunefakta/. You may wish to call beforehand for information on opening hours, booking of appointment etc. and inform them that you reside abroad.
Can my child be included in my passport?
No. Since 1 October 2004 children, also newly born and children without names, must have their own passport. A consulate may issue a temporary (emergency) passport if you are in urgent need of a passport. Se above on emergency passports.
Must children also give their fingerprints?
No. Fingerprints are not collected from children below 12 years of age, but they still have to appear in person in order to apply for a passport. Since January 1 2012 application for passports for children is only handed in at the Embassy.
Should I book an appointment to submit my passport application?
