Do I need to translate my employment contract for a Danish work permit?
Not if it's in English. SIRI accepts documents in Danish, English, Norwegian or Swedish for schemes such as the Pay Limit Scheme, and asks for translations into Danish or English by a professional translator for other languages. Check your scheme's page on nyidanmark.dk.
Under the Pay Limit Scheme, the contract does the heavy lifting. It has to show a salary at or above the scheme's minimum, which SIRI adjusts every 1 January, and working hours of at least 30 a week, on terms that match Danish standards. Many international employers in Denmark draft contracts in English, so the document SIRI reads often never needed translating in the first place. Your previous UK employment records mainly serve as evidence of experience, and English works there too.
When are payslips and employment letters translated into Danish?
Common uses include mortgage and loan applications, rental applications, joining an unemployment insurance fund (a-kasse), pension matters, and Danish employers or professional bodies that work in Danish. These are common uses, not a list of bodies that have approved our translations.
Lenders and landlords want to see that income is real and regular, which in practice means several months of payslips and, ideally, a letter confirming the job. If you're also sending bank statements, the two get read against each other, so the salary on your payslips should match the deposits; order them together and we'll keep the figures consistent.

How is a UK payslip translated into Danish?
Every field is translated: employer and employee details, pay period, gross pay, Income Tax, National Insurance, pension contributions, student loan deductions, tax code, year-to-date totals and net pay. Amounts stay in pounds exactly as printed.
A UK payslip is a small festival of acronyms: PAYE, NI, a tax code like 1257L and year-to-date columns that start again every 6 April. Danish readers know the concepts, since A-skat, AM-bidrag and ATP all appear on Danish payslips, but not the British labels. So field names are translated into Danish, while codes and figures stay exactly as printed. P60s and P45s get the same treatment, end-of-year totals included.
Can you translate an employment reference letter into Danish?
Yes. Reference letters, offer letters, contracts and letters confirming employment are translated in full, including letterheads, signatures and company stamps, and signed by a named professional translator.
A reference letter's tone travels with it: a carefully hedged British 'reliable and punctual' comes out exactly as enthusiastic in Danish, no more and no less. The translator doesn't add warmth or remove caveats, because the reader on the other side is entitled to the same letter you received.
If your letter is going to a Danish-language employer alongside diplomas and transcripts, ordering them together keeps job titles and institution names consistent.
How much does payslip translation into Danish cost?
£41.99 per page, charged in pounds sterling and delivered by the next working day. There is no rush option, because a named translator reviews and signs every translation.
Most payslips are a single page, so three months of payslips is usually three pages; contracts run longer. The price includes the translation, the translator's signature, a quality check and 2 free revisions. Upload your documents on the online quote form, choose Denmark and you'll see the total before you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions About Payslip & Employment Letter Translation into Danish
What salary does the Pay Limit Scheme require?
SIRI sets a minimum annual salary for the scheme and adjusts it every 1 January. Check nyidanmark.dk for the current figure before you apply.
Can you translate a P60 or P45 into Danish?
Yes. P60s, P45s and P11Ds are translated in full, with figures and references reproduced exactly as printed.
Will you convert my salary into Danish kroner?
No. Amounts stay in pounds exactly as printed, so the translation matches the original document.
How many payslips should I translate?
As many as the receiving body asks for. Banks and landlords often want several recent months, but check before you order so you only pay for what's needed.
Do you translate the company letterhead and stamp on an employment letter?
Yes. Letterheads, company registration details, signatures and stamps are all translated or described in the translation, so a Danish reader can see who issued the letter and when.
Who signs the translation?
A named professional translator, who signs with their full name, contact details and qualifications.
How long does it take?
By the next working day. There's no rush tier because a named translator signs every translation.
Are revisions included?
Yes. Every document includes 2 free revisions if anything needs correcting.
