Cancel weapon certificate

All citizens in Denmark aged 15 and over can obtain MitID. If you do not have one now, you can order one. You can order MitID through your bank or at borger.dk. 

If you are a European citizien you will be able to use your country's electronical identification (eID) to access the form.

If you do not have MitID or eID, you must send the information that we need to process your request along with a receipt of the payment of the required fee by letter. See contact details.

However, please be aware that the processing time will be considerably longer if you choose to send your request by letter. The reasons are that sending the request by letter increases the risk of errors, that we must spend more time on manually entering your data in the system and that the delivery time for letters is typically up to five days.

Requesting a cancellation of a certificate is free of charge.

Once you have submitted your request for a cancellation of your weapon certificate, you will receive a receipt through Digital Post and you need not do any more.

The receipt is your proof that you have requested a cancellation of your weapon certificate. We will only contact you if we have questions concerning your request.

A weapon certificate can be cancelled if it has not been granted for a specific weapon,
such as a collection of pointed and sharp weapons.

A co-owner certificate for a specific weapon can also be cancelled if another owner has a valid certificate for the same weapon.

Conversely, you cannot cancel a certificate for a specific weapon if you are the sole owner of/the only person holding a certificate for that specific weapon.
