udstedt

Udstedt is a Danish term that functions as the past participle of the verb udstede, meaning to issue or publish. It is commonly used in administrative and legal language to indicate that something has been issued by an authority, such as a document, certificate, license, or order. The form is typically encountered in official writing and in references to produced or distributed items.

In usage, udstedt can appear attributively as an adjective describing a noun, for example et udstedt certifikat or udstedte dokumenter. The form agrees with the noun in number and, in some dialectal or formal contexts, with gender; in standard Danish, the singular neuter form is udstedt (et dokument), while the plural form is udstedte (dokumenter). The passive construction is common as well: certifikatet er udstedt, meaning the certificate has been issued. The phrase udstedt af is used to indicate the issuer, as in udstedt af myndigheden (issued by the authority).

Etymology and related forms: udstedt is derived from the verb udstede. Related nouns include udstedelse (issuance) and udsteder (issuer). The term is chiefly found in Danish administrative, legal, and bureaucratic texts and is rarely used as a proper name or in non-official contexts.

Notes: There is no widely documented use of udstedt as a surname or place name; when encountered in texts, it is typically a grammatical form rather than a proper noun. For most readers, udstedt signals that a document or right has been formally issued by an authority.
