How much does a new passport cost in Denmark?
Passport fees for 2026
Short answer
In 2026 a Danish passport costs 894 kr. for people from 18 until state pension age and 382 kr. for people at pension age. For children it costs 150 kr. at 0–11 years and 182 kr. at 12–17 years. The price doubles if you do not bring your last passport or bring a damaged one, so an adult then pays 1,788 kr. The fingerprint fee is included, while a photo at Borgerservice costs 130 kr. extra in Copenhagen in 2026.
Why
- Bringing your old passport halves the price.
- Pensioners pay the reduced rate.
- The photo is paid for separately.
Details
Bring your latest passport even if it has expired, because that keeps the normal price.
Tip
You can order a passport at Borgerservice in any municipality, not only where you live.
What may differ
Passport fees are set each year, so check the price for the year you apply.
Common misconception
A lost passport is replaced at the normal price.
What actually happens
Without your last passport the price is doubled.
