A power of attorney is a legal document that allows a third party to act on your behalf. If you choose to send a power of attorney, you allow a representative to look after your interests and to represent you in the application process.

When you give power of attorney to a third party of your choice, the representative will act on your behalf in all matters concerning your application.

Among other things, you give your representative the right to:

• have access to documents in your case
• submit information to your case and make statements on your behalf, and
• receive confidential information about your affairs, including your private affairs (if any).

If you have questions, comments or anything else about your case, you must therefore contact your authorized representative. We send all letters, information, questions, etc. to your representative and we strongly recommend that you keep in contact with your representative   on a regular basis.

This power of attorney only applies up until the time we have made the first decision regarding your application - e.g. when we have made a decision on whether your education is equivalent to the Danish basic education,

Please use our standard template, if you choose to let a third party represent you.

You can complete the power of attorney electronically, but you have to print and then sign the power of attorney.

• The signed power of attorney must be uploaded along with the necessary documentation when applying for Danish authorization if the proxy is applying on your behalf
• You can also send the power of attorney by email to: aaes@stps.dk if you later wish to be represented by a third party.

Important: It is important that you sign the power of attorney. Neither proxy nor others may sign on your behalf. If we do not have a correctly filled or signed power of attorney, we are unable to discuss your case with anyone but you.

As long as the power of attorney is valid, all letters from the Danish Patient Safety Authority will be sent to the person you give power of attorney to.

You can withdraw, change or extend your power of attorney at any time by notifying the Danish Safety Patient Authority.
