How do you send a postcard home from Denmark?
Buy the code, write it on, post it.
Short answer
A postcard from Denmark to another country goes as a dao international letter, which costs from 46 kr. as of November 2026. Buy an international letter code in the dao app, on send.dao.as or at the counter in a daoSHOP, and put it in the top right corner of the card. Post the card in the red dao letterbox inside a daoSHOP. Delivery abroad usually takes 4–16 weekdays depending on the country.
Why
- dao accepts postcards as flat mail.
- A card inside Denmark costs from 23 kr. like a standard letter.
- Old Post Danmark stamps do not work for abroad.
Details
dao also sells sheets of global letter marks if you send many cards.
Tip
Post cards early in your trip, since they can take more than three weeks to arrive.
What may differ
Prices and delivery times can change, so check dao.as before you buy codes for many cards.
Common misconception
A postcard needs less postage than a letter.
What actually happens
A postcard costs the same as a letter in its weight class: from 46 kr. abroad in November 2026.
