The 28-year-old has been a free agent since leaving German side Wolfsburg last season, enabling Forest to sign him outside of the transfer window, which closed last week.
Bendtner will become the 12th new arrival at Forest following the appointment of Philippe Montanier as head coach over the summer.
The Denmark international began his career at Arsenal and had loan spells at Birmingham, Sunderland and Juventus before switching to Wolfsburg in 2014.
He scored 24 league goals in 108 appearances for the Gunners and has netted 29 times in 72 outings for his country.
Bendtner, 28, could line up against former club Arsenal as early as September 20, as Arsene Wenger’s men make the trip to the City Ground for an EFL Cup tie.
Forest, who became English champions in 1978 for the only time in their history a year after scraping into the top flight, achieved back-to-back European Cup triumphs in 1979 and 1980.
Forest have started the league campaign with three wins from their opening five games and are seventh in the standings.
