Abstract

The Order applies and sets regulation on the granting of hunting licence in Denmark, which may be obtained after successful results of hunting course trainings. Trainings may take place twice a year between 15 April and 30 June (first test period) and 15 September - 31 October (second test period) - art. 8. Exams include a written and a practical test. The former test must be passed before undergoing the latter. Those residing abroad, in Greenland or the Faroe Islands, may apply for Danish hunting licence through www.jagttegn.dk if in possession of a valid non-Danish hunting licence. Validity of authorized hunting licence is of 5 years, starting from 1 April of the same year when successful exams have concluded. It is compulsory to register hunted game, and insurance shall be issued in the eventuality of accidents. Eligible hunting licence is granted with access to "My hunting licence" on www.borger.dk or through the Danish Nature Agency's website.
