If you live in another municipality, ask your landlord or the student residence hall office where you can find the office.
The CPR number is used when dealing with public authorities, health authorities, banks etc. You also need a CPR number to get a tax card, which is necessary when you get a job.
The procedure is described below
Students from Nordic countries
You have to register if your stay exceeds three months. You will need an inter-Nordic certificate from your home municipality. After arrival in Denmark you should contact your local Danish National Registry Office, which will then issue you a Central Persons Register number (CPR number). No other documentation is necessary.
Students from all other countries
If your stay in Denmark lasts for more than three months, you must register at the national Registry Office (Folkeregister) in the municipality (kommune) in which you live in Denmark. Remember to bring your passport and documentation for your residence permit. Ask the national Registry Office for a receipt of notification of your change of address and for a temporary personal registration certificate: for example, ask them to enter your new CPR number in your passport.
Changing your address
If you change your address during your stay in Denmark, notify your new municipality at the National Registry Office within five days after you have moved. You need not inform your “old” municipality as well.
Leaving Denmark
After your studies in Denmark are finished, and before you leave the country, you must notify your national Registry Office, which will then cancel your personal registration certificate. This is important! |
