Why Take the Danish Theory Test in English?
If you're living in Denmark and need a driving licence, you'll have to pass the teoriprøve (theory test). The good news? English-language theory tests are available through the Danish testing system, so many international learners can prepare and take the test without studying every rule only in Danish.
This means you don't need to be fluent in Danish to get your Danish driving licence. Whether you're an expat, international student, or just moved to Denmark, you can take the official theory test in English.
Good to know: The Danish theory test is digital, and English is available for many test takers through the official testing process. You take it on a touchscreen computer with images and video scenarios.

What's on the Danish Theory Test?
The Danish driving theory test (teoriprøve) consists of 25 image or video scenarios. For each scenario, you answer 2–4 yes/no sub-questions about the traffic situation shown. You get 25 minutes to complete the test, and you can have a maximum of 5 incorrect answers to pass.
The test covers these topics:
- Right of way and priority rules — who goes first at intersections
- Traffic signs and road markings — what they mean and how to follow them
- Speed limits — default limits in cities (50 km/h), rural roads (80 km/h), and motorways (130 km/h)
- Roundabouts and lane positioning — correct lane choice and signalling
- Hazard awareness — blind spots, vulnerable road users, and defensive driving
- Vehicle knowledge — basic maintenance, tyre requirements, and safety equipment
- First aid basics — what to do at an accident scene
- Environmental driving — fuel-efficient driving techniques
Tip: The most commonly failed topics are right-of-way situations and road sign combinations. TheoryPass DK tracks which categories you struggle with so you can focus your practice.
Practice all these topics in TheoryPass DK — realistic practice questions in English, with explanations. One-time purchase, no subscription.
