Information for foreign citizens, who wishes to exchange their original driving license from abroad to a Danish driving license.

A Danish law, effective 15th. May 2006, requires all non-EU citizens to pass a theory and a practical test in order to exchange your original driving license into a Danish license. So, if you have your residence and wish to drive in Denmark, you are required to change your current driving license to a Danish license.

The law sets no requirement for any minimum amount of theory lessons, nor lessons for the practical test, in order to obtain a Danish driving license.

For the final practical test, the law requires the test must be taken through an approved driving school using a driving instructors car.


Procedures in exchanging a Danish driving license:
Københavns Køreskole offers 2 forms in exchanging or redo (generhverv) license students (Option A or B solution). We also offer classes starting in Østerbro



Option A
You can choose to prepare for the theory test all by yourself and enrol for a theory test without any assistance or lessons from any driving school, and then contact a driving school after you have passed the theory test. If you choose to take the theory test in a language other than Danish, you must acquire a police authorized translator both for the theory and practical test.

This solution will seem the cheapest, but might in the end be the most expensive solution, because you will risk failing the theory test, and the result can be a costly affair and in addition you risk to lose the license you have for other categories other than the B category, (personal car license) failing on the 3rd attempt.

If you choose this Option A, Københavns Køreskole offers the following:
  • Access traffic law class
  • You can choose to buy online theory book through the school
  • Inform us when you are ready for a theory test
  • See possible dates available from our www for a theory test

  • Contact us again when you have passed the theory test for the final practical test and Option A part 2
  • We will test your driving and give you an honest evaluation regarding the amount of lessons you will need in order to pass the final practical and technical test.
  • Finally, with the instructor’s approval, we will enrol you for the final practical test. Københavns Køreskole requires at least 2 lessons to check your driving skills before the final practical test.

  2. A doctor certificate from your own personal doctor which is max 3 months old.
  3. Your original driving license will be required and withheld by the police when you submit your application

  8. A second test (if one fails) will cost an additional fee and adm. fee kr. 990,- plus translator fee
  9. Last and not least an important point: If you fail the test on 2nd attempt in the theory or the practical test, you will lose your license for all categories and in order to regain them, you must take the exams for each category. Meaning you have to take a theory and a practical test in order to regain them.
