Key facts
- Duration
- up to 7 days; can be ordered at the earliest 14 days before use
- Price
- DKK 100 per day, liability insurance included
- Who
- Motorstyrelsen: MitID and a Danish address; without a CPR number via TastSelv or an AKR number; an exporter with a CVR number can order them for a foreign driver

Are they valid abroad?
Danish prøvemærker can be used to drive from Denmark to Germany and through Germany, but not from Germany into Denmark. In other countries use is at your own risk. Note: according to FDM the applicant must live in Denmark, which differs from Motorstyrelsen's guidance – check with the authority.
Need Finnish temporary plates?
We apply for the Finnish transfer permit on your behalf with a power of attorney for up to 7 days, and post the plates or send them as a scan. The route can, for example, start or end at Hanko Free Port.
