The consulate general in Los Angeles is the office that Danish nationals in this part of the United States deal with when they need something done officially: a passport that is about to expire, a document that has to be recognised back home, a birth that needs registering.
What follows is the contact information on record, the services normally available, how to go about getting an appointment, and the practical points that tend to trip people up.

🛂 The remit of this office
The services below are typical rather than guaranteed. Networks move work between offices without much announcement:
- Notarial acts: signatures and copies certified for use at home, with every signatory normally required in person.
- Emergencies: arrest, accident, serious illness or the death of a relative. Say it is an emergency when you call, because it changes how the call is handled.
- Documents: a diploma, a court order or a deed only works abroad once certified. This is where that chain begins or ends.
- Visas: where the destination still requires one. The online route has replaced the counter for short visits in most networks.
📅 How appointments work here
Walking in without an appointment works at some posts and not at others. Where it does work, the queue tends to form well before the doors open.
How this post takes bookings is published on its own site. Whatever the method, booking through the official channel is free.
Check what the office takes as payment. Exact change, or a money order made out precisely as instructed, is a common requirement.
🤝 Using this office from Los Angeles and around
Being in the same state is not the same as being in the district. Ask, because the answer decides where your file goes.
If a certificate is old, order a fresh copy. Many offices refuse documents issued beyond a certain age.
Keep copies of everything you submit and every receipt. If a file goes astray, they are what reconstructs it.
What people ask most
Is it worth calling ahead?
Yes, and it saves wasted journeys. Call (310) 645-0540 and ask what they need and how they take payment — cards are the exception rather than the rule.
Do they deal with emergencies outside opening hours?
Genuine emergencies — detention, hospitalisation, the death of a relative, a stolen passport — are handled outside the appointment system. Say so when you call.
What is the address in Los Angeles?
It is 11766 Wilshire BLVD 270. Many posts share a building with unrelated offices, so find the specific door before you turn up.
Is there a site with the current fees?
Yes: usa.um.dk/en/about-us/list-of-danish-honorary-consulates-in-the-us/los-angeles publishes the current tariff, which is usually revised annually.
Does it handle visas for U.S. citizens travelling to Denmark?
Many countries have moved visitor visas online, so the consulate may have no role at all. Check whether Denmark requires one from U.S. citizens before contacting the office.
Does this consulate general cover my state?
Consular districts are drawn by each country, and the nearest office is not always the competent one. Confirm the district before booking anything in Los Angeles.
