Midwife

Midwives educated outside Denmark (including midwives from the Nordic countries and the EU/EEC countries) must hold Danish authorization to be able to practice in Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

As a result of international agreements, different rules govern the recognition of qualifications obtained abroad, depending on the applicant’s nationality, and where the education took place. For this reason, applicants are divided into three groups.

You will find application forms and further information at the links below.
