Temporary and occasional work as a psychologist

A citizen of a EU/EEA Member State or a country which the EU has made an agreement with concerning the practising of a regulated profession and who is legally established in a Member State and who is fully qualified to practice as a psychologist in a Member State may work on a temporary and occasional basis as a psychologist in Denmark by using the professional title from the Member State in which the psychologist is established.

Before taking up such temporary and occasional work in Denmark, a declaration must be forwarded to the Danish Supervisory Board of Psychological Practice.

The declaration should be in writing: letter or e-mail and should contain documentation for:

  • name
  • documentation for change of birthname, if any (such as marriage certificate)
  • birth
  • citizenship (such as copies of relevant pages of passport)
  • contact information
  • documentation for recognition of a diploma as a psychologist received in a third country or another EU/EEA Member State
  • documentation for being legally established in a Member State.

(A person is legally established in a Member State if the person meets all the conditions for practicing a profession in a Member State and is not - even temporary - prohibited from practicing such services).

The declaration is valid for 12 months.
