Confirmation or clothing contribution

If requested, the Family Law Administration may determine a confirmation/clothing contribution (a contribution for when the child is of confirmation age but is not to be confirmed).

The amount of the confirmation/clothing contribution is three times the amount of the regular child maintenance.

An application for confirmation/clothing contribution must be submitted to the Family Law Administration within three months after the expenses were paid for. The application form is available upon request. 

If the parent who is liable to pay lives in Denmark, an application for confirmation contribution (konfirmationsbidrag) must be submitted to the danish Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset). The Agency of Family Law must have received the application no later than the day before the confirmation. Applications can be submitted up to three months before the confirmation.

If the child is not to be confirmed, an application can be made for a clothing contribution (beklædningsbidrag). Read more on the process for confirmation- or clothing contribution in Denmark on the Agency of Family Law website here.

When the Family Law Administration receives an application for confirmation/clothing contribution, where the parent who is liable to pay lives in Denmark, the application is forwarded to the Agency of Family Law for processing. In such cases, the application deadline at the Agency of Family Law must be met.
