Did you know? Denmark

Tilt a Danish passport into ultraviolet light and the document quietly comes alive: the printed islands scattered across each page begin to glow, as if you were flying over Denmark at night and looking down at the lights of its cities. Launched in late 2021, the polycarbonate ePassport packs four separate portraits of its holder and a stack of optical defences, yet its most poetic touch is purely Danish geography rendered in luminescent ink. It is one of the most travel-powerful documents on Earth, and it belongs to a kingdom that has flown the same flag for roughly eight centuries.

  • Passport power In the Henley Passport Index 2025 the Danish passport shares 3rd place with six other EU states, granting visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 189 destinations worldwide.
  • Passport design Denmark's 2021 ePassport hides outlines of its islands on every page that glow under UV light like city lights seen from a night flight, and carries four different photos of the holder for layered anti-fraud security.
  • Identity number When Denmark switched on its electronic Central Person Register on 2 April 1968, every resident received a unique 10-digit CPR number, making it one of the first nations to run an entire population through a single electronic identity key.
  • Currency The Danish krone is divided into 100 oere, a word likely descended from the Latin for gold, though inflation has retired every small coin except the 50-oere piece.
  • Eurozone An EU member since 1973, Denmark negotiated a permanent opt-out from the euro and keeps its krone tightly pegged to the common currency at roughly 7.46 DKK to one euro rather than adopting it.
  • Oldest flag The Dannebrog holds the Guinness World Record as the oldest continuously used national flag, by tradition having fallen from the sky during a 1219 battle, and its white-on-red cross became the template for every other Nordic flag.
  • Coinage history Danish kings have stamped their name, monogram or portrait onto coins for roughly a thousand years, a near-unbroken minting tradition reaching back to Harald Bluetooth's cross-coins of the late 10th century.
  • The realm A Danish passport is issued across a kingdom that spans three continents' worth of geography, since the realm includes the Faroe Islands and Greenland, the world's largest island, alongside Denmark proper.
