How can I get a CPR-number?

For your information: The Ministry of Digital Affairs’ CPR-Administration does not assign CPR-numbers.

If you need a CPR-number for: 

  • becoming a registered resident of Denmark – contact the Citizen Service Office (Folkeregister) in your municipality of residence
  • only tax purposes – contact the Danish Tax Agency (Skattestyrelsen)

In order to be registered in the CPR as a resident of Denmark, you must have a place to live or stay (dwelling) and your stay in Denmark must last longer than three months. In addition, non-Nordic nationals must have a residence permit/registration certificate from the immigration authorities. Click here: New to Denmark

The rules on registration of immigration from abroad in the CPR can be found in the Civil Registration System Act here: https://www.cpr.dk/english/executive-order-on-the-civil-registration-system-act
