Danish Recognition of Foreign Certificates
A foreign officer wishing to apply for a Danish flag state endorsement (recognition certificate) will have to contact a Danish shipping company or its representative in his or her own country.
An application to the Danish Maritime Authority for a recognition certificate will need to be endorsed by such a company indicating a promise for engagement on board the company’s ships.
When contacting the Danish shipping company or its representative, the foreign officer will need to present his or her certificates of competency in original form and proof of identity (passport or seafarer's discharge book).
Furthermore, it is strongly recommended to present proof of completed maritime education and training and seagoing service.
The company will be in possession of an application form to be used when applying to the Danish Maritime Authority and will also provide information about further procedures that will need to be followed in the application process. The shipping company may require further documentation and information.
Citizens from member states of the European Union and from Norway and Iceland may apply directly to the Danish Maritime Authority.
