The Ukrainian travel passport in Denmark: how to get or renew one

Checked against sources 23.09.2026Data updated 23.09.20266 steps

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

1

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.

  • Return certificatethe rule does not apply to it
  • A child’s casea passport for a child, registering a birth — no e-VOD needed
  • Detained abroadapplications from such people — no e-VOD needed
  • Emergenciesa road accident, detention, a natural disaster — emergency help without an e-VOD

Gather the documents: for an adult

Turning up with an incomplete set is pointless — you will be sent away. You need originals and copies.

  • Your old travel passportthe first page — original and copy; bring ALL the passports you have
  • Your internal passportthe first and second pages and the page with the registered address
  • Tax numbera copy of the taxpayer registration number
  • Opholdstilladelsethe Danish residence permit — original and copy
  • The yellow cardsundhedskort — original and copy
  • Birth certificateoriginal or copy

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.

Under 12The child **does not have to come**. But you need a **colour photo 10×15 cm** of studio quality: white background, no shadows, the head filling 70 % of the frame, mouth closed, looking straight ahead.
12 to 16A parent submits the documents, but **the child must be present** — fingerprints are taken and a photo made.

from the age of 14 the child also needs the Ukrainian ID card, if it already exists

5

Pay — by card, no cash accepted

The fees depend on age, and for a child there is only one.

  • From 16635 kr. consular fee plus 282 kr. for automated data processing
  • Under 16only 282 kr. for automated data processing
  • How to payby payment terminal inside the section; **cash is not accepted**

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

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.
