If you send in original education documents, you should send them by registered post. We always return original education documents and original translations by registered post. You can also choose to collect the documents at our reception. In that case, you must call us to make an appointment.
Certified copies are normally returned by ordinary post.
If you have a Danish CPR number and MitID you can send your application by Digital Post, unless you are to submit original documents (see "Documents from certain countries" below).
If you want another person to communicate with the Agency about your application, you must give that person power of attorney to do so. The power of attorney must be dated and signed, containing the name, address, postal code and town, email address, phone number and civil registry number (if none: date of birth) of the person you have authorised to act on your behalf.
You will receive confirmation of your application within 14 days. We will contact you in case any information or documents are missing.
The assessment normally takes no more than two months from submitting all of the required documents. If you have a Danish CPR number and permanent residence in Denmark, you will receive the assessment as a pdf sent by Digital Post (unless you are exempt from Digital Post, in which case you get it by letter post).
Please do not give any sensitive personal information in your application.
Tick the main purpose for which you want to use the assessment.
If the main purpose is ”Job”, please state the field of work in which you are looking for employment or are already employed. NB: For some professions you need authorisation by another authority.
If the main purpose is “Further education”, please mention which type of education you want to enter, e.g. “bachelor's degree programme" or “vocational education and training”. N.B.: The assessment does not include any conversion of grades/marks.
Former assessment: Tick ”Yes” if you have received any written assessment or decision on recognition of your qualification before, from the Agency or from other bodies in Denmark or abroad.
Language of the assessment: You can only get the assessment in one language. An assessment in Danish is easier to use in the Danish labour market and in the Danish education system.
