Photo identification requirements at Danish Education tests

You must provide valid photo ID at written as well as oral tests.

You can only take a test within the framework of Danish education if you present the correct identification at the test. You must show identification for both the written and oral parts of the test.

Driving licences cannot be used as identification for the test from November 2024 onwards. The following forms of ID will be accepted:

Identification for Prøve i Dansk 1 (PD1), Prøve i Dansk 2 (PD2), Prøve i Dansk 3 (PD3), and Studieprøven:

  • Passport, residence card (‘opholdskort’), alien’s passport (‘fremmedpas’), or convention passport (‘konventionspas’) issued by a public authority in Denmark.
  • Passport or identity card issued by a public authority in another EU/EEA member country or in Switzerland.
  • Passport or other valid travel identification with a photo issued by a public authority in a country not listed above.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you bring the correct identification on the test day. If you cannot present the correct identification, you will not be allowed to take the test. You must bring the original document. A copy or photo cannot be used.

If your identification is being held by an authority, such as the Danish Immigration Service (‘Udlændingestyrelsen’), due to processing, it is your responsibility to request the return of your identification in good time before the test.

Alternative Identification
If you do not have one of the valid forms of identification, in some cases, you may be allowed to use an alternative form of ID. You must apply for this through the Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) no later than 4 weeks before the test.

SIRI cannot grant permission for the use of a driving licence as identification.

For more information, visit danskogproever.dk or ask your language centre for assistance.

If SIRI grants you permission to use alternative identification, both the permission and the alternative ID must be brought to the test.

Checklist before the test

  • Ensure well in advance of the test that you have the necessary identification (so you have time to obtain the correct ID if you do not already have it).
  • If you are unsure whether you have the correct identification, ask your language centre for help well in advance of the test.
  • Remember to bring your identification on the day of the test.
