In short
- The catalogue has one agency in Tappernøje out of 32 in Denmark: Cast Agency Denmark, the company Casting Company ApS since 7 October 2011.
- We do not vouch for it. The terms set a one-off registration fee of DKK 385, not refundable once processing has begun; members pay for their own photos; admission guarantees no jobs.
- The catalogue is visible only to logged-in clients and there is no public board, so the agency is included with a reservation.
- The sister site Børnecasting.dk runs kids casting tours: 405 castings and 54,772 participants over the years; many jobs are in Copenhagen and Aarhus.
Cast Agency Denmark
Tappernøje is a village in South Zealand in the municipality of Næstved, about 80 km from Copenhagen. Of the 32 Danish agencies in our catalogue, one is here. Denmark has no licence for model agencies, no register of them and no association of agencies, so the catalogue lists every business that represents models, including those that charge applicants. We do not vouch for them, and each profile shows what we found, good and bad: fees with their amounts, terms, the company's status in the register.
Cast Agency Denmark calls itself a professional casting agency with experience in the model, film and TV industry since 2011. In the copy of the Danish company register the company Casting Company ApS (CVR 33963548) was registered on 7 October 2011 at Karlshøj 34, 4733 Tappernøje, status normal, with 5 employees; the agency's studio is at the same address, and bookings are handled by Maja. The site says the agency handles more than 150 casting and booking jobs a year, offers models, actors and extras of all types as well as families, children, supersize and athletic models, and names LEGO, Hummel, Christina Rohde and Johnson's Baby among its clients. The agency is not on the signatory list of the Danish Fashion Ethical Charter.
The main difference from the other agencies in the catalogue: the nationwide catalogue of models, actors, extras and families is shown only to logged-in clients, who apply for access on the site. There is no public board, so we could not check how many people are in it or who they are. The agency is in the catalogue because it meets the owner's rule: it is a business that represents models and charges a fee, and an applicant should know that.
The DKK 385 fee and the terms
The terms set a one-off registration fee of DKK 385, paid on admission to the catalogue and not refundable once processing of the application has begun. The agency says there are no other fees, but members pay for their own photos. Admission is no guarantee of jobs, profiles not updated for 4 years are deleted, and under-18s need parental consent. The FAQ adds that there is no age limit, that many jobs are in Copenhagen and Aarhus, that members may also be with other agencies, and that after registration they get access to a job bank with paid and unpaid tasks. Applications go through the form on the site.
This is the casting database model: you pay for a place in a catalogue you cannot see yourself, and clients pick from it on their own. Danish law neither sets nor bans an agency's fees to models; the only fee ban, section 4(2) of the temp-agency act, applies to businesses that employ the worker and send them to work under a client's direction. How a fee is sold falls under the Marketing Practices Act: sections 5 and 6 forbid misleading actions and omissions, and section 3(2) requires special care where a practice is aimed at children and young people. Section 36 of the Contracts Act allows an unfair term to be set aside. Before you pay, ask in writing how many bookings people of your type received in the past year and how many of the job bank's tasks were paid.
Børnecasting.dk and kids castings
The agency's sister site Børnecasting.dk announces kids casting tours in towns across Denmark; the autumn 2026 tour is held together with Cast Agency Denmark. The site says it has held 405 kids castings with 54,772 participants in Denmark and Sweden over the years. MigogAarhus wrote on 15 February 2024 about such a casting in Aarhus for children aged 3 to 16. The figures show a mass model: tens of thousands of children through castings, and, in the agency's own words, more than 150 bookings a year.
For parents the point is that a casting is not a job, and a job for a child under 13 needs a permit. A child under 13 needs a permit from the Director of the Working Environment Authority (Arbejdstilsynet) to take part in a photo shoot or an advertising film, issued case by case under order no. 1713 of 18 December 2025; since 1 January 2026 the authority, not the police, issues them, either the company or the parents can apply, and for a child of 6 or under the default is a refusal. From 13, shoots are allowed without a permit if they pose no danger to safety or health. Ask the agency who will file the application when a particular booking comes.
South Zealand and the Copenhagen market
We found no other agency around Næstved: Freelance Models in Næstved was a sole proprietorship from 2013 to 2020 with only a Facebook page, and there are no agency offices in Køge, Holbæk, Slagelse or Hillerød. The whole Zealand market is in Copenhagen, with 16 of the 32 catalogue agencies, and its suburbs: Hellerup (Star Kids), Klampenborg (1·kid modelmanagement) and Albertslund (JS Total Booking, which charges a DKK 98 profile fee and offers paid photo sessions). If a fashion career is your aim, Cast Agency Denmark is not the route: it is a business for advertising, television and family castings, and fashion boards with open castings are in Copenhagen. If your aim is the occasional advert or film shoot for the whole family, DKK 385 is the price of a place in a database, and you should decide knowing that jobs are not guaranteed.
Before you apply
Agencies in Denmark need no licence, so the checking is yours: the site must show the company's name, address, e-mail and eight-digit CVR number, which you can check free of charge at datacvr.virk.dk. Fees are taxed as B-income, and an EU citizen needs only a passport for up to three months. All of this is in the Denmark guide.
- Before paying DKK 385, ask in writing how many bookings a year people of your age and type receive and what share of the job bank's tasks is paid.
- You pay for your own photos: take plain digitals in daylight and do not book an expensive shoot until you know clients need it.
- In the terms, look for the commission on fees and the payment term; the agency does not require exclusivity, and says so itself.
- For a child under 13, find out who handles the Working Environment Authority permit; for 15- to 17-year-olds the working time is capped at 8 hours a day.
