Danish to English
Danish to English translation
For visitors and working holiday makers driving on a Danish licence, and for anyone who needs a Danish certificate or diploma in English. Check first whether an English version exists; if not, we translate in full, by email, with NAATI certification as an option.
What a Danish document needs
Three things a Danish document brings with it
Denmark can often give you English itself, and Danish names follow a law of their own.
Ask for Danish/English first
Denmark’s civil registration service lists its certificates, including the Certificate of Personal Data, as available in Danish and in Danish/English. If one of those covers what your reader needs, order it and you may need no translation from us.

The CPR number
The CPR number, ten digits beginning with your date of birth written day, month, year, appears on most Danish records. It is copied exactly as printed, so a reader can match the certificate, the licence and your other papers.
Middle names and æ, ø, å
A Danish mellemnavn is a family-type name placed before the surname, not a second given name, and the translation labels it so. Names keep æ, ø and å exactly as your passport prints them.
Driving here on a Danish licence
What to carry with a Danish licence
What Queensland says
“If your licence isn’t in English, you should carry a recognised English translation of it when you’re driving. Show this translation to police when you have to show your driver licence.”
At the Hertz desk
Hertz’s terms accept a licence that “is in English or, if not in English, is accompanied by a certified English translation”. A Danish card needs the translation, carried with the card itself.
