Apply for a hunting license

When we have processed your application, you have to pay the hunting license fee, and 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 had a guest hunting license in the previous hunting season, you must also report your game bag.

The game bag has to be reported before paying for a new Danish guest hunting license. If you did not have 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 payment of the new guest hunting license fee. If you did not have a guest hunting license in the previous hunting season you only need to use the link for payment.

Please note:

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

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