Hunting in Denmark

Guest hunting license

In order to be able to hunt in Denmark you must have a guest hunting license. Please follow the link below for application:

Apply for a guest hunting license

Please note that the expected review time of your application is up to four weeks. 

License fee and police consent

When we have processed your application, you have to pay the hunting license fee, and in addition the Danish police has to give consent for the Danish Environmental Protection Agency to issue the hunting license. When you pay for the Danish guest hunting license, you also give the Danish Police permission to investigate whether consent can be given for issuing a Danish guest hunting license. If you have possessed a guest hunting license in the previous hunting season, you must also report your game bag.

The game bag has to be reported before you pay for a new license. If you did not posses a Danish guest hunting license in the previous hunting season, please proceed directly to payment.

Report game bag and pay for the guest hunting license

When the Danish Environmental Protection Agency has processed your application, you will receive an email with two personal links. One is for reporting your game bag for the previous hunting season, and the other is for the payment of the new guest hunting license fee. If you did not have a guest hunting license in the previous hunting season you only have to use the link for payment.

Please note

  • All hunters including returning guest hunters are obliged to report game bag for the previous hunting season
  • You cannot undo the payment of the hunting license fee once it has been completed
  • If you are a resident in Denmark you cannot apply for a guest hunting license

It is important to save this email electronically, as it is not possible for the Danish Environmental Protection Agency to resend it.
