Frequently asked questions

Can I fly my drone in Denmark?

Drones in Denmark are drone-friendly with basic registration. Register your drone under EU rules before flying — straightforward outside central Copenhagen's no-fly zones.

Do I need to register my drone before visiting Denmark?

Yes — register before you fly, not after you land. Few authorities offer same-day approval, so this needs to happen before your trip.

Will my drone be confiscated at customs in Denmark?

Unlikely if you've completed the required registration, but keep your registration certificate or permit accessible in case customs asks.

Are there photography restrictions in Denmark even without a drone?

Yes — photographing military sites, government buildings, and some infrastructure can be restricted almost anywhere in the world, drone or no drone. When in doubt, don't photograph it.
