Notary services in Denmark – certified true copies & power of attorney
Notarisation of signatures and copies, drafting of powers of attorney and preparation for the apostille.
In Denmark the notary (notarius publicus) is attached to the district courts (byretter). The notary certifies signatures, copies and identity so that a document can be used abroad – often as the first step before an apostille or legalisation.
We draft the power of attorney or declaration in the right language and the format the recipient expects, and make sure everything is ready when you see the notary.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find a notary in Denmark?
Notaries are attached to the 24 district courts. We tell you which one is closest and help with booking and preparation.
What is a certified true copy?
A copy on which the notary confirms that it matches the original. It is used when you don't want to send original documents abroad.
Can the power of attorney be bilingual?
Yes. A bilingual power of attorney is often the easiest option, because both the notary and the foreign recipient can read it.
