Avenues for appeal

It is possible to appeal the rulings of the Regional State Administration and the Immigration Service.

Proof of registration or residence card

Applications for proof of registration or residence cards are processed by the Regional State Administration. You can appeal the ruling to the Immigration Service.

You can submit your written appeal either to the Danish diplomatic mission where you submitted your application (if applicable) or to the Immigration Service.

If you submit your appeal no later than seven days after receiving the ruling, you have the right to stay in Denmark while the Immigration Service processes your appeal.

Proof of registration and work permits
