An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Denmark that means Denmark’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Denmark, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Denmark issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Typical requests from Denmark concern marriages concluded in Denmark and cross-border employment. EU member: civil-status documents are exempt; some bilateral treaties cover further documents; corporate documents and diplomas may still be requested with apostille.

Apostille in Denmark: questions
Under Article 6 of the Convention Denmark has designated: Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The notary reviews your application and we route the document to the right office.
In all Contracting States except Bangladesh and Pakistan: an Article 12 objection is in force between them, so documents for these states need consular legalisation instead. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) always need legalisation.
The authority’s fee listed with the HCCH: 230 DKK E-Register: https://dys.um.dk/ver. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately from Notaryzer’s service fee in your written quote; nothing is charged before you accept.
The apostille itself is standardised and accepted without translation. The document is in Danish or English; most recipients abroad want a sworn or certified translation into their language, which we add in the same order.
The Convention has been in force for Denmark since December 29, 2006.
