Authorization Process

To obtain Danish authorization as a chiropractor, you need to follow the steps outlined below.

1. Application and Approval of Qualifications

To apply for Danish authorization, complete an application form and submit it electronically to the Danish Patient Safety Authority. For detailed information, please see the "Application and Qualification Approval" section.

Application and Approval of Qualifications

Upon approval of your education (deemed suitable for testing or equivalent to Danish education), you will be granted a three-year period to fulfill the requirements for obtaining permanent authorization in Denmark.

 

2. Language Test

You need to pass the language test "Prøve i dansk 3" (Danish 3 Exam). The language test is held twice a year in May/June and in November/December, and you can take the exam from various language centers in Denmark. You can take the language test before you send your application and documentation of formal qualifications. However, you must have passed the exam less than 12 months before you apply for registration, unless you can prove that you have stayed continuously in Denmark in the period after you passed the language test. For more information, see 

Language Test
