## How to get authorization to fly in a restricted zone

Steps and links from official sources, checked in September 2026. Rules change: confirm on the official website (Trafikstyrelsen) before you fly.

1. Check the Dronezoner map and click a zone for its conditions; red zones cover airfields and hospital helipads. [Official page](https://www.en.droneregler.dk/uas-geo-zones/guidance-for-dronezoner)
2. Apply to Trafikstyrelsen with the online form (MitID). Expect about 30 days, and a fee. [Official page](https://www.en.droneregler.dk/uas-geo-zones/application-for-flying-in-geographical-drone-zones)
3. For military areas and vessels, permission must come from the Danish Defence, not Trafikstyrelsen. [Official page](https://www.en.droneregler.dk/uas-geo-zones/application-for-flying-in-geographical-drone-zones)
4. Check the latest NOTAMs on Naviair before flying. [Official page](https://briefing.naviair.dk/app/map)
5. Flying a DJI drone? With the authorization in hand, request an unlock on [DJI FlySafe](https://fly-safe.dji.com/unlock/unlock-request). DJI's unlock does not replace the authority's permission.
