Denmark passport photo: it depends on how you apply

There is a route where a photo you took is accepted, and a route where it is not.

Checked on 2026-08-15. Rules move — we re-check this list at least every six months. Next review: 2027-02-15.

Why

Children and emergency documents only

What the authority says

The Embassy or Consulate General will take a digital photograph … If you are below 12 years of age and applying at a Danish consulate, you must bring your own passport photo … For babies and very young children, please bring a photo … If you are applying for an emergency passport, you must bring your own photo … irrespective of whether applying at a Danish Embassy or consulate.
