Denmark Unveils New Digital Application System for EU Residence Permits
Denmark Launches New Digital Application Forms for EU Residence Permits
The Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) has launched an upgraded digital system that introduces four new online application forms for EU/EEA/Swiss citizens and their family members applying for residence in Denmark. This upgrade is part of a broader effort to make the application process more efficient, user-friendly, and accessible—especially for mobile and tablet users.
“As an applicant, you will experience several upgrades. Among other things, it will be much easier to apply using your mobile phone or tablet. We therefore recommend that you apply online, since digital applications often can be processed faster.”

OD1 Form Replaced by Four Specialized Forms
Denmark has officially retired the previous OD1 form, replacing it with four new, tailored forms hosted on a new IT platform, each designed to meet the needs of specific applicant categories:
OD1A – For EU/EEA/Swiss citizens or posted service providers in Denmark
OD1B – For family members of EU/EEA/Swiss citizens
OD1C – For applicants seeking permanent EU residence
OD1D – For those wishing to change the grounds for their current EU residence
Key Improvements in the New System
SIRI highlights several enhancements in the updated application process:
Mobile and tablet optimization: All four forms are fully responsive and designed for use on smartphones and tablets.
Simplified signing process: The sworn declaration has been removed. Applicants can now sign their forms:
In-person at SIRI for OD1A and OD1B
Using MitID (Denmark’s digital ID) for OD1C and OD1D
Clearer applicant guidance: Each form is now tailored to a specific situation, reducing confusion and increasing accuracy during submission.
Online profile access: Applicants can now log in to their digital profile to view submitted applications and track progress.
Online Applications Encouraged but Paper Forms Still Accepted
While digital applications are strongly recommended due to faster processing times, physical (paper) applications remain an option for those who prefer them.
This reform benefits both applicants and administrative staff, enhancing the overall efficiency and transparency of Denmark’s residence permit system for EU nationals.
