The Ukrainian travel passport in Denmark: how to get or renew one
In short
The travel passport is issued by Ukraine, not Denmark. So everything happens at the Consular Section of the Embassy of Ukraine in Copenhagen — the kommune, the police and Borgerservice cannot help with this.
You cannot simply turn up: they receive people by prior appointment only and only with a complete set of documents. Anyone with an incomplete set is turned away.
A passport can be renewed no earlier than 6 months before it expires. Right now they accept renewal applications for passports expiring in 2026.
the consular section takes no cash — card through the terminal only
Does this apply to me?
Yes, if you are a Ukrainian citizen living in Denmark. The consular district is the whole country, including Bornholm, the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
Steps
Book through e-Consul
Visits are strictly by prior online appointment through the e-Consul system: e-consul.gov.ua. Without a booking you cannot come.
You log in with Diia.Signature, BankID or an electronic signature.
Booking a consular appointment →the embassy has a separate page for the case where you have no digital signature
Men aged 18–60: Reserve+ first
This is the step where visits most often fall apart. Men of call-up age must update their data in Reserve+ and then generate an e-VOD in their personal account — the military registration document, an extract from the Oberih register.
It has to be done no earlier than 3 days before the visit. Without the e-VOD the consular service will not be provided.
Gather the documents: for an adult
Turning up with an incomplete set is pointless — you will be sent away. You need originals and copies.
fingerprints and the photo are taken on the spot, at the consular section
Gather the documents: for a child
One of the parents submits the documents. Besides the child’s papers you need the parents’: the passports of both parents (if they exist) and the Opholdstilladelse of the parent who submits.
Whether the child must come depends on age — and this is the detail that makes people drag small children across the country for nothing.
from the age of 14 the child also needs the Ukrainian ID card, if it already exists
Pay — by card, no cash accepted
The fees depend on age, and for a child there is only one.
a passport for someone under 16 is valid 4 years, from 16 it is 10 years
If the passport is lost or stolen
Here the only Danish authority in this whole guide appears. A loss must be reported to the Danish police and to the consular section.
Get the certificate from the police — it carries the number P650-031. Without it a replacement passport will not be issued.
After that the embassy itself notifies the Ukrainian border service and Interpol so that the old passport is declared invalid.
Reporting a lost document — Danish police →What you will need
- Diia.Signature, BankID or an electronic signature — for booking
- All the travel passports you have
- Your internal passport and tax number
- Opholdstilladelse and the yellow card
- Birth certificate
- e-VOD — for men aged 18–60
- A payment card
Danish words you will see
- Opholdstilladelse
- A residence permit. The date it runs to is written in the decision from SIRI.
- Sundhedskort
- The yellow health insurance card with your CPR number and your doctor on it.
- CPR-nummer
- Your personal registration number. You need it for almost everything.
Common mistakes
- Turning up without an appointment. They receive people only through e-Consul. There is no walk-in queue.
- Turning up with an incomplete set. The section receives only those with a complete set ready — originals and copies.
- A man aged 18–60 forgetting the e-VOD. Without it the consular service is refused. It is generated no earlier than 3 days before the visit.
- Bringing a child under 12. Their presence is not needed — a 10×15 cm photo is. A child of 12 to 16, on the other hand, must come in person.
- Counting on cash. The consular section does not accept cash at all. Card only.
- Coming too early. Renewal is possible no earlier than 6 months before the passport expires.
Need to talk to a human?
People with disability groups I and II, children with disabilities, Chornobyl categories 1 and 2, orphans and children without parental care, service members with their families and combat veterans are received out of turn — write to consul_dk@mfa.gov.ua. The same address is for urgent humanitarian cases and for a return certificate to Ukraine.
