Danish Immigration Suspends Some Residence Cases Over IT Glitch

Are you waiting for permanent residence in Denmark? Your application decision may be temporarily delayed. The Danish Immigration Service has paused processing certain pending cases.

This pause affects specific permanent residence and family reunification applications. The decision comes after officials discovered an IT error. The fault occurred inside the Danish National Police Criminal Register.

Immigration authorities use the criminal register to check background information. Because of the IT fault, officials cannot complete these safety checks correctly right now. Processing for affected cases will resume after the technical issue is fixed.
