Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether bilateral arrangements with Danish authorities require certificates of entitlement issued by the UK to UK citizens resident in Denmark to be recognised by the Danish authorities during the application process when a person has (a) lost their driving licence and (b) is applying for a replacement.

UK licence holders are required to present a valid UK driving licence to exchange it for a Danish licence. So, if the UK licence has been lost, stolen or expired it cannot be exchanged and the UK licence holder will need to apply for a Danish licence and may have to take a test. A certificate of entitlement will not be recognised by Denmark in these circumstances.
