The Danish Agency for Universities and Internationalisation may ask you for further documentation.

By signing the application you certify that the information given in the application is correct and that the enclosures are authentic documents relating to you. The Danish Agency for Universities and Internationalisation may hand any forged documents to the police.

Power of attorney

If you want another person to act on your behalf in connection with your application, you must give that person power of attorney to do so. The power of attorney must be in writing and dated, containing the name, address, postal code and town, e-mail address, phone number, civil registry number (if none: date of birth) and signature of the person you have authorised to act on your behalf.

Translation requirements

Documents in Norwegian, Swedish, English, French and German require no translation.

If you are going to have documents translated, please check to see which translations are accepted:

• Translations
  

Certified copies are required

All copies of original documents or translations must be certified, i.e. an authority must have signed and stamped each page to confirm that the copies are identical with the documents that you have presented as original documents. The authority thereby confirms that they are not copies of copies, but it does not attest to the authenticity of the original documents or to the authenticity of signatures on the original documents.

How to have your copies certified: Take the original documents with you to one of the following:

• a Danish authority (e.g. a municipal office, job centre, International Citizen Service or educational institution)

• the institution/authority that issued the document

• the embassy or consulate in Denmark of the country where the document was issued

• a Danish embassy or consulate.
