ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  • If the child was born in the Philippines and the biological father was declared thru an Affidavit of Acknowledgment / Admission of Paternity, please contact first the Danish Ministry of Immigration and Integration (UIM) to inquire if the child acquires Danish citizenship at birth and for guidance on how to apply for the Certificate of Danish Citizenship.
  • If the child was born in the Philippines, any changes or remarks related to the child’s birth registration, example: Admission of paternity by the Danish father, change or correction to the child’s name or subsequent marriage of the parents, the changes must be reported and registered to the PSA and later to the UIM for assessment whether the child acquires Danish citizenship based on the new information to his birth registration.
