Businesses
When you apply on behalf of a business, the application must be completed and signed using MitID for the business.
Note: If you sign using your personal MitID, the Permit Department (Tilladelser) cannot accept your signature as valid.
If you sign using your MitID for the business you confirm, in your capacity of employer, airport or airline, that:
- the information in the application is correct
- the relevant person has completed the part of the extensive background check which deals with ID and CV checks
Do not sign in case the above information is incorrect or if you disagree with the information. Instead, please contact the applicant with a view to the submission of a new application with correct information.
Private individuals
If you want to apply for an extensive background check as a private individual, if, for example, you are to take up a position at an airport or with an airline, you must log in and complete the application using your MitID. The business with which you are to be employed must sign the application using MitID for the business.
Further details about extensive background checks and security clearance are available in the guidelines of the Danish Civil Aviation and Railway Authority.

Yes, if you are to transport weapons in an airport, you must lodge a separate application for this purpose. The application is available at politi.dk under Apply for permission for transportation and storage (only in danish).
A permission to transport weapons is a general permission while an approval of an extensive background check is solely an approval to perform functions at the relevant airport.
Please note that in connection with applications, permission/approval is granted based on various pieces of legislation. Therefore, permission/approval may be granted for one application and refused for another.
