If you hold Danish nationality and live within reach of Baltimore, this is the office your paperwork goes through. Consular work is unglamorous and exacting, and knowing what this post does before you turn up saves the wasted morning that catches most people out.
Everything on record about this office follows: where it is, how to reach it, what it does, and what to settle before you go.
📞 Quick Contact
- Address: 217 E Redwood ST 1600, Baltimore
- Phone: (410) 685-6711
- Type of office: Consulate General
🛂 Services normally available
What follows is the usual range for a consulate general of this size. The office itself is the authority on what it actually does:
- Powers of attorney: drawn up or witnessed here for use at home. The wording should come from the lawyer or notary who will use it.
- Consular protection: help for nationals in serious trouble, which is the one thing every post does regardless of size.
- Visas: the counter still matters for the categories online systems do not cover, which is most things beyond tourism.
- Documents: certification of papers so they have legal effect abroad — either an apostille or the older legalisation chain, depending on the country.
📅 Appointments and waiting times
Most consular procedures need an appointment, and at a busy consulate general the wait for one is usually the longest part of the whole process.
This post does not publish an online booking route, so contact it directly and ask how appointments are arranged.
Bring originals and copies of everything. Counters keep the copy and return the original, and the reverse is the exception.
🤝 Practical points
Check the consular district before anything else. The map that matters is the one the country drew, not the one on your phone.
Names are the other recurring problem. Where the spelling on an American document differs from the Danish record — accents dropped, surnames ordered differently, a married name — expect to be asked for evidence explaining the difference.
Public holidays close the office twice over: the American ones and those of Denmark. Check both calendars before travelling.
Before you travel to the consulate general in Baltimore
What if I lose my passport days before a flight?
That does not go through the ordinary appointment queue. Call and say it is an emergency: for imminent travel most networks issue a travel document valid for a single journey.
How do I get hold of this office?
By telephone on (410) 685-6711. Note who you speak to and what you are told, because requirements differ between posts of the same country.
Where exactly is this consulate general?
At 217 E Redwood ST 1600, in Baltimore. Check the floor or suite number before travelling — it is the detail that ruins more visits than anything else.
Does this office handle passports?
It usually does, by appointment and with personal attendance for biometrics. Ask whether the booklet is collected at the counter or posted out.
Do I need a visa to visit Denmark?
That depends on your nationality and the length of the trip. Where Denmark does require one, it is increasingly applied for online rather than at a counter.
