First, the good news: the Danish immigration authorities and the Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset) both work with documents in English, so a UK marriage certificate often needs no translation for a spouse's residence permit or a wedding in Denmark. A Danish version earns its place further down the road, with banks, lawyers, municipalities and anything involving property. Our Danish certified translation page covers the service as a whole.
Denmark
Not accepted for
Usually not if the certificate is in English. Applications made through nyidanmark.dk generally accept English, and documents in other languages need a translation into Danish or English. Check the requirements for your specific permit before ordering.
Spousal family reunification is handled by the Danish Immigration Service, while family members accompanying a worker apply through SIRI; both publish their document rules on nyidanmark.dk. For a UK certificate, English is normally enough. It's one of the few corners of immigration paperwork where the simplest answer is also the right one.
If an office does ask for Danish, upload the certificate along with any instructions you've received, and we'll translate it in full.
Typically when a Danish body that works in Danish needs proof of the marriage: for a change of surname, a property purchase, a pension or inheritance matter, a marital agreement, or a bank or insurer. These are common uses, not a list of bodies that have approved our translations.
Tell us who the translation is for when you upload. If a lawyer is involved, they'll usually know exactly what format they want, and it's worth asking them before you order rather than after.
Yes, in most cases. Familieretshuset asks for foreign documents in Danish, English or German, so English-language documents usually don't need translating. Documents in other languages need an authorised translation into one of those three.
Denmark has become a popular place for international couples to marry, partly because the paperwork is so manageable, and the paperwork is manageable partly because nobody has to translate it. Familieretshuset reviews the couple's documents and approves the marriage, and the ceremony itself then takes place with a Danish municipality. Familieretshuset also notes that documents from Great Britain typically don't need an apostille for this.
Where a Danish translation tends to come up is afterwards, when the marriage needs to be shown to Danish bodies that only work in Danish.
The whole certificate: names, ages, occupations, addresses, parents' names, witnesses, the officiant, the place of marriage and the certified copy wording, plus stamps, seals and any apostille. A named professional translator signs the translation.
UK marriage certificates are dense little documents: a register entry with columns for rank or profession, residence at the time of marriage and the names of the people who witnessed it, often in handwriting that was never designed for anyone else to read. Every one of those boxes is translated. Names stay exactly as written, so if the certificate shows a name you no longer use, the translation follows the certificate rather than your current passport.
If your file also includes a birth certificate or a divorce certificate from a previous marriage, translating them together keeps names and dates consistent across the set.
£41.99 per page, charged in pounds sterling and delivered by the next working day. There's no rush tier because a named translator reviews and signs each translation.
A UK marriage certificate is usually one page, plus one for an apostille if it has one. The price covers the translation, the translator's signature, a quality check and 2 free revisions. Upload a scan or clear photo on the online quote form, choose Denmark and you'll see the total before paying.
Going the other way, with a Danish certificate for a UK visa? Our UK marriage certificate translation page covers that.
Usually not for a certificate in English. Documents in other languages generally need a translation into Danish or English. Check the requirements for your permit on nyidanmark.dk.
Yes. Civil partnership certificates are translated in the same way, in full, and signed by a named professional translator.
It depends on the Danish body. Familieretshuset says documents from Great Britain typically don't need one for marriage cases, but other offices set their own rules. We don't issue apostilles, so check first.
A named professional translator, who signs with their full name, contact details and qualifications.
Some Danish bodies ask for a translation by a statsautoriseret translatør. If yours does, confirm with them whether a translation signed by a named professional translator meets their requirement before you order.
Your translation is delivered by the next working day. There's no rush option because a named translator signs every translation.
Yes. Every document includes 2 free revisions. Email or WhatsApp us with the change and the translator will correct it.
