Denmark Changes Citizenship Rules After Supreme Court Rulings

People who were told they are not Danish citizens can now ask to reopen their cases. This change follows two rulings from the Danish Supreme Court.

Denmark's Ministry of Immigration and Integration changed its administrative practice. The ministry now handles case reviews differently for individuals affected by previous citizenship decisions.

This applies to those who believed they had Danish citizenship but were later told otherwise. The Copenhagen Post reported this update on September 12, 2026.
