Passport

Danish Passport

Please note that as of June 26th 2012, everyone must possess a passport of their own when travelling in or out of the country. Thus, children under the age of 15 who are imbedded into the passport of an adult must have a passport of their own, if they are to travel abroad. For further information, please download the press release on the right hand side.

 

Passport application
If you like to apply for a new passport or renew your existing one, you need to show up at The Trade Council of Denmark in Taipei. This applies for all applicants despite age, including Danes residing in Taiwan, Hong Kong and other parts of Asia. An appointment is necessary and should be made by phone or e-mail in advance. All payment for temporary as well as new passports can be made in New Taiwan Dollar (NTD) only. Credit cards are not accepted.

In order to apply for a passport, an application form should be completed. This form is to be found and downloaded on the right hand side and should be brought to the meeting together with the following:

• Passport photo
• Current passport when applying for passport renewal
• Child's birth certificate (only if it's the child's first passport)
• Parents' marriage certificate (only if it's the child's first passport)
• Medical card if you are not a passport holder and your civil registration number does not appear from the birth certificate or picture identification
• Fees (NTD 5,200)

Residents from Hong Kong should collect in person at The Trade Council of Denmark, Taipei.

Please note that in case of passport renewal, a new passport number is always given. We would therefore like to point out that if this new number does not match that of the one appearing from the plane tickets purchased, the plane tickets become invalid. If this is the case, you are kindly advised to contact your airline as soon as possible in order to try to change the passport number. This, however, is not allowed by every airline.

 

Emergency passport
If you lose your passport in Taiwan, you need to notify the local police station as soon as possible in order to get a police report. This report should then be brought to the Trade Council of Denmark, Taipei together with the following:

• Passport photo
• Completed passport application form
• Picture identification – this could be a driving license or a previous copy made of the lost passport
• Fees (NTD 5,200)
