ACRO police certificates and UK criminal record checks translated into Danish in full, signed by a named professional translator and delivered by the next working day.
Police certificate translation into Danish is for when a Danish employer, school, volunteer organisation or authority asks to see your UK criminal record certificate in Danish. VisaDocTranslation translates ACRO police certificates and basic DBS, Disclosure Scotland and AccessNI checks in full, and a named professional translator signs each one with their full name, contact details and qualifications, at £41.99 per page.
Many Danish organisations read English, so ask the one requesting your certificate whether a translation is needed before you order. Our Danish certified translation page explains the service in general.
Denmark
Not accepted for
Danish criminal record certificates (straffeattest and børneattest) mainly reflect records held in Denmark, so employers and organisations sometimes ask newcomers for a certificate from the country they lived in before. This is common for roles involving children and other positions of trust.
In Denmark, organisations that take on people to work with children under 15 must obtain a child protection certificate (børneattest) for them, with the person's consent. For someone who has only recently arrived, that Danish check has little to go on, which is why a UK certificate is often requested alongside it. Whether the UK certificate must be in Danish is up to the organisation, so ask them before ordering.
For use abroad, the usual choice is an ACRO police certificate, which covers records held on UK police systems. Some Danish employers accept a basic DBS check (England and Wales), a Disclosure Scotland basic disclosure or an AccessNI basic check instead. Ask which one they want.
The certificates look different and say slightly different things, so getting the right one first saves a second application. Whichever you upload, we translate all of it: reference numbers, the issuing body's details and the wording that explains what the certificate does and doesn't cover. That explanatory paragraph matters, because it tells a Danish reader how to interpret the result.
Often, yes. Many Danish authorities and employers accept documents in English, and residence applications made through nyidanmark.dk generally accept English. If the body asking for your certificate wants it in Danish, it should say so, so confirm before you order.
There's no single national rule here: requirements are set by whoever is asking, so the only reliable answer is theirs. Check how recent they need the certificate to be as well, since some organisations want one issued within a set period and a translation can't make an older certificate newer.
If you're gathering other documents for the same application, our pages on diploma and transcript translation and payslip and employment letter translation cover the rest of a typical job file.
A named professional translator signs it with their full name, contact details and qualifications. The translation reproduces the certificate in full, exactly as issued.
If the certificate lists information, the translation lists the same information, without softening or omission; if it shows no records, the translation says exactly that. Every translation is checked against the original before delivery and handled confidentially, and we work to the ISO 17100 standard. If the receiving body asks for a Danish state-authorised translator (statsautoriseret translatør), confirm with them whether a named professional translator's signed translation is acceptable before you order.
£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.
Some certificates run to more than one page, and each page is priced separately; the quote form counts them for you. The price includes the translation, the translator's signature, a quality check and 2 free revisions. Upload your certificate on the online quote form and choose Denmark to see the total before paying.

A Danish child protection certificate that organisations must obtain, with consent, for people working with children under 15. It reflects Danish records, so newcomers are sometimes also asked for a certificate from the country they lived in before.
Ask the organisation in Denmark. An ACRO police certificate is the usual choice for use abroad, but some employers accept a basic DBS, Disclosure Scotland or AccessNI check.
Not necessarily. Many Danish organisations accept English. Check with the one requesting the certificate before you order.
No. The translation reflects the certificate in full, exactly as it was issued.
That's set by the organisation asking for it. Get the certificate first, check it meets their date requirement, then order the translation.
Yes. Your certificate is used only to produce the translation and is handled confidentially by the people working on your order.
Only if the receiving body asks for one. We don't issue apostilles, so check first and arrange it before ordering the translation.
