CPR number & residence in Denmark
What the CPR number is
The CPR number is Denmark’s civil registration number and is used across public services, health care, tax, banking and many private services. The exact registration route depends on your nationality, residence basis and municipality.
Before you apply
Prepare valid identification, proof of address and the documentation required for your right to reside in Denmark. EU/EEA citizens and non-EU nationals can have different residence steps, so check the official immigration guidance before booking an appointment.
Where to register
Municipal citizen service and International Citizen Service centres handle many arrival registrations. Requirements can change, so verify the current checklist before attending.
