Above the word DANMARK, the Danish version contains the words DEN EUROPÆISKE UNION (European Union) (as all other EU passports), while in the Greenlandic and Faroese versions the text KALAALLIT NUNAAT (Greenland) or FØROYAR (Faroe Islands) is written.

Fields on the bearer's page are in Danish, English, and French, with translations in the official languages of the European Union elsewhere in the document.

The page contains the following information:[10] Passports contain a machine readable strip starting with P>DNK for all types.

Through bilateral agreements freedom of movement is extended to Switzerland,[16] and all EU and EFTA nationals are not only visa-exempt but are legally entitled to enter and reside in each other's countries.

In 2010, an atheist Danish citizen filed a complaint to the Danish Ministry of Justice, due to the passport's inclusion of a picture of the crucifixion of Jesus as shown on the Jelling Stones, arguing that passports should be free of religious symbols.

[17] This argument was rejected by leading Danish politicians, arguing that Christianity is a part of Denmark's cultural history, and Christianity was not depicted exclusively, since the passport also includes an image of a dragon motif, likewise taken from the largest Jelling Stone.
