Danish Police Suspend Child Protection Certificates

The Danish National Police have temporarily stopped issuing child protection certificates.

This pause affects anyone needing background checks to work with children in Denmark.

The suspension occurred after criminal information was accidentally deleted from the Central Criminal Register.

Danish police discovered the database error and halted certificate processing immediately.

These certificates are required for school staff, sports coaches, and youth volunteers.

Parents and employees should expect delays in background clearance applications.

Police are currently working to fix the register and restore the lost records.
