CPR – Registration in Denmark

In Denmark each person has a civil registration number, which is called a CPR number. CPR stands for Central Person Register. The CPR number is essential in relation to any contact with the Danish authorities and especially in connection to tax and social security issues.
If you are coming to Denmark to work for more than three months (six months if you come from an EU/EEA country or Switzerland), you need to apply for a CPR number at the Danish National Register (Folkeregistret).
You can contact your local municipality’s Citizen Service centre or one of the four International Citizen Service centres, available in the largest cities in Denmark: Aalborg, Aarhus, Copenhagen and Odense.

To get a CPR number you should bring along:

• Your work and residence permit (if citizen outside the EU/EEA, the Nordic region or Switzerland)     
• Assignment/employment contract – Passport or personal ID
      
• Proof of your address in Denmark (e.g., rental contract)
• If applicable, documentation for changes of name (marriage/divorce certificate, etc.)
• If applicable, birth certificates for your children
• If applicable, a marriage certificate.

If your spouse and children accompany you to Denmark they must also register and obtain a CPR number.
Once you have informed the municipal authorities of your arrival and have received a CPR number, you are included in the general Danish health insurance scheme. You will be asked to choose a doctor from a list provided by your respective municipality.

If you are coming to work for 3 month or less, you will get a tax number instead of a civil registration number. Your personal tax number works like a civil registration number, i.e. it is your Danish civil registration number.
