Emergency Passports
If you have an urgent need to travel, you may be eligible for an emergency passport. Please contact the Embassy on +45 7026 3676 or email [email protected] to discuss your circumstances.
Emergency passports are only valid for up to 12 months and don’t have a chip, so some countries do not accept them. Check the visa requirements of all countries you plan to enter or transit.
You can apply for a full-validity passport at the same time as you apply for an emergency passport.
