Guide to Digital Post

Digital Post from public authorities is the same type of letters that you already receive from the authorities. Digital Post includes any letters from hospital, pension statements, information about state education support (SU), changes to housing benefits, replies to applications for childcare, letters from the Danish Tax and Customs Administration (SKAT), etc.

Digital Post can be accessed on either of two secure websites. They are borger.dk and e-Boks.dk. You only need to check your Digital Post from public authorities on one of these two websites.

In order to access your Digital Post, it is necessary to log on with the digital signature, NemID, which is a single login for public websites, online banking and many other websites and services. If you do not have NemID, you can order it on nemid.nu or simply go to your local citizen service centre (borgerservice). Please remember to bring valid ID.

It is your responsibility to open and read your Digital Post. If you do not check your Digital Post regularly, you may not see post that requires action. Your Digital Post may contain decisions and notifications that require your attention.
Not all post from public authorities can be sent digitally. Therefore, you still need to check your paper-based letters (letters in your physical letter box).

You can give one or more people access to read your Digital Post. You can grant reading access to others when you are logged on to borger.dk or e-Boks.dk. You can also get help to do this at the citizen service centre (borgerservice).
In order to grant other people reading access you must:

• know the civil registration number of the person who is to be allowed access
• choose which post the person is to be able to read
• write a password and give it to the person to whom you want to grant access.

All the public authorities you typically need to contact are represented at these four International Citizen Service Centres. The ICS centres make the contact to Danish authorities as easy as possible. In most cases, you will only need to visit an ICS centre in order to take care of your paperwork with regard to residence permit, registration certificate, tax card, civil registration number (CPR), health insurance card etc.
