Questions and answers
You are required to register your address with the Civil Registration System (CPR) in Denmark.
To register with the CPR, contact your municipality.
When you contact your municipality, you will be requested to provide the administrative CPR number provided in the letter you received from the Immigration Service concerning your residence permit. You cannot access health services or other services that require a CPR number until you register your address with the municipality.
In order to avoid double registering, it is important that you inform the municipality that you were issued an administrative CPR number when you register.
An administrative CPR number is an ordinary CPR number that is initially created for use by a public agency when processing an application.
If you are over 18 years old, you need to have a residence card as proof of your residence permit. Your residence card will be ordered when you register your address in the CPR.
Your residence card will automatically be sent to the address you are registered with in the CPR after about two or three weeks.
Because you need to be able to show proof that you have residence permit in Denmark, you need to have your residence card with you at all times.
If you were approved for family reunification as a spouse/partner in Denmark, you will normally need to pass a Danish exam at the A1 level or higher within 6 months of registering your address with the CPR. If you have applied for family reunification on 1 July 2018 or after, you will normally also need to pass a Danish exam at the A2 level or higher within 9 months of registering your address with the CPR.
