If you plan to stay in Denmark for more than three months, you will need to complete several formalities related to residence and work registration.
I. Requirements for residence registration
In Denmark, you cannot be registered at two addresses at the same time. Registration requires that you actually reside at the given address, so you must have a premises where you can conduct the registration.
II. Registration of residence
- Registration obligation: If you will be living in Denmark for more than three months, you must register your address with the Folkeregister (Population Register). When you arrive in Denmark, go immediately to visit your local municipality to register your address where you will be living.
- Documents: You will need an identity document, such as an ID card or passport, when you register. In the process, you will receive a CPR number, which is necessary if you want to use Danish public services, such as health care in Denmark.
III. Central Register of Persons (CPR)
Once you have registered with Folkeregister, you must go to the Civil Registration Office within the next five days for further registration with the Central Register of Persons (CPR). You will then receive a yellow health card (sundhedskort), which includes contact information for the doctor of your choice, and an EU resident certificate, which allows you to use Danish medical services on an equal footing with Danish citizens.
IV. Right to work
Once you have registered your residency and obtained a CPR number, you will also need to obtain a Danish tax card (TAX card). It is necessary in order for the employer to pay the employee's salary. The TAX card is a document issued by the Danish tax authority SKAT, and in order to obtain one you must first apply for it. This can be done both online and in the traditional way, by going to the office in person.
If you do not plan to stay in Denmark for longer than three months, you are not required to register. The same does not apply if you plan to look for a job, in which case you have up to six months.
Registering in Denmark opens up the possibility of applying for Danish unemployment benefits, known as A-kasse. A-kasse is a form of financial support for people who have lost their jobs and are actively looking for new employment. Registration in the A-kasse system also requires providing additional documents and meeting formal requirements, which may vary depending on the institution you choose.
If you change your address after obtaining a CPR number, you can update your data online at www.borger.dk using NemID. In addition, you are required to inform your local authorities. You have five days to do so after making the change.
