Do you feel like spending a weekend in Copenhagen? Or maybe a boat trip to Helsingör? Don't forget your ID documents. For now, they are not only needed to be able to return home, in the Swedish border control. On Tuesday, Denmark begins with its border checks on Sweden.

According to the Danish police, the checks will be done for people entering the country from the Swedish side. And they will happen both at the Öresund Bridge, and at ferry destinations such as Fredrikshamn, Grenå and Helsingör.

- We are purposefully following the organized crime. And the goal is for the public to be affected as little as possible by border controls, says Lene Frank, who is the police director at the Danish police, in a press release.

According to the police in Denmark, border checks will not be held all the time, but so-called "checks" will be carried out.

- So there will be no fixed checks at the border crossings to Sweden, says Lene Frank.

Once the controls are done, you must be able to show a valid ID document as a traveler. As a citizen of a Nordic country, having a driver's license is enough if you have it at hand. And if you have children under the age of 18, according to the police, it is enough for the adults to show their ID document.

May be longer travel time

If you are not a Nordic citizen a valid passport is required if you are checked in the border control, even for persons under 18 years.

Despite the fact that travel should be affected as little as possible, the police advise travelers from Sweden to Denmark to expect that travel time may be slightly longer when the actual checks are carried out.

The Öresund trains, one of the train operators that operate between the Swedish west coast and Copenhagen and run by Skånetrafiken, it is hoped that border controls will not affect their travel times.

- From the signals we received from the police, we hope that the checks will not result in longer travel times than usual, says Theresia Swanholm, at Skånetrafiken's press release.

Already at November 2015, Sweden has had border controls for travelers from Denmark to Sweden.
