The official Kørekort app provides a digital version of an eligible Danish driving licence for use within Denmark.
Is the digital licence valid abroad?
No. The app is valid only in Denmark. A driver must carry the physical licence when driving abroad.
Can one person hold more than one EU driving licence?
No. EU rules generally permit only one valid EU or EEA driving licence at a time.

Borgerservice and the municipality assess ordinary applications, with referral to Færdselsstyrelsen where specialist assessment is required.
Medical assessment and first aid
Is a medical certificate required for a first licence?
Yes. A medical certificate is required for a first driving licence, except for the special small-moped route.
What does the doctor assess?
The assessment covers matters such as vision, hearing, mobility, neurological conditions, cardiovascular health, diabetes, medication and other conditions relevant to safe driving.

Can glasses or contact lenses be required?
Yes. A restriction code is entered when corrective lenses are required for driving.
Can a licence require an adapted vehicle?
Yes. Medical or technical restriction codes can require specific controls, transmission types or vehicle adaptations.
Does a medical condition automatically prevent licensing?

What does the practical minimum include?

Can the minimum lessons be enough for every applicant?
Not necessarily. They are minimum requirements, and the instructor may require more lessons before confirming that the learner is ready.
What changed on 1 July 2026?
A modernised modular training system entered into force, giving instructors greater flexibility while retaining national learning objectives and minimum lesson requirements.
Can a person who started before 1 July 2026 finish under the old rules?
A transitional arrangement allows qualifying learners who started earlier to complete under the previous rules until the end of 2026.

New-driver rules and penalty measures
How long is a first category B driver treated as a new driver?
Special beginning-driver rules apply during the first three years after category B is obtained for the first time.
What alcohol limit applies during those three years?
The limit is 0.2 per mille, which in practice means the new driver should consume no alcohol before driving.
What is the general alcohol limit after the new-driver period?
The general limit is 0.5 per mille, although driving while impaired can be punishable at a lower concentration.
How many licence clips normally lead to conditional disqualification?

Two clips during the first three years lead to a driving prohibition.
What does a driving prohibition mean?
The person loses the driving entitlement and must surrender the licence until the restoration requirements are completed.
What is required after a driving prohibition?
The person must complete special approved driving instruction and pass a controlling theory and practical test.
Can one serious offence trigger a driving prohibition?
Yes. A beginning driver can receive a driving prohibition for conduct that would normally cause conditional disqualification.

Yes. Excessive percentages, speeds of 160 km/h or more, and the separate reckless-driving thresholds can trigger conditional or unconditional disqualification.
Can alcohol offences require an ANT course?
Yes. Restoration after alcohol or drug-related cases can require an alcohol, narcotics and traffic course in addition to tests and other measures.
