U.S. Information

Information, Research & Communications

The Embassy has an extended reference, research and news service administered by the Information, Research & Communications Section (IRC) under Public Affairs.

The IRC assists both the general public and the Embassy’s audience. With our specialized knowledge of the United States, we can help you find an answer to a U.S. related question or point you in the right direction for further information.

The IRC is closed between August 11 and August 28 and will only answer questions on a limited basis.

The IRC does NOT answer visa related questions and/or questions related to gaining entry into the U.S. Such questions are answered by the Consular Section.

Areas in which we can be of assistance to you include:

  • The U.S. position on current hot topics
  • Speech or statement by the U.S. President, Secretary of State or other Cabinet Member
  • Information on bilateral U.S.-Danish relations
  • U.S. legislation and regulations
  • U.S. history
  • Recent articles from American newspapers
  • Biographical information on U.S. Government, political, cultural or business leaders
  • Treaties between Denmark and the United States
  • Websites for official U.S. Government policy

You can contact the IRC on phone no. 33 41 71 00. You are welcome to call us, or leave us a message and we will get back to you.

You can also send reference and research questions by e-mail to: CopenhagenIRC@state.gov.

Please do not write generic subject lines like "Question" or "Important". To make sure your question is read please fill out the subject line as follows: "Full Name, Question subject". Example: "John Doe, Question about Abraham Lincoln".

You can also send a letter to:

Embassy of the United States of America

Depending on our workload and the nature of your question please allow up to four weeks before we provide an answer. Do NOT send urgent questions or inquiries to the IRC. We answer questions on a 'first come first serve basis'.

Please Note:

The IRC does NOT answer inquiries concerning visas, immigration, citizenship matters, driver's licenses, validity of marriages etc. All such inquiries must be made to the Consular Section or, if you are a U.S. citizen, the Citizen Service.
