Contact International Citizen Service

All the authorities a foreign employee or job seeker will typically need to contact are represented at International Citizen Service (ICS) in Aalborg, Aarhus, Copenhagen and Odense. In most cases, a foreign employee or jobseeker will only need to visit ICS in order to get the paperwork done and find answers to any questions.

Help with the paperwork:

Non-EU/EEA citizens, who are legally staying in Denmark, can submit an application for a residence and work permit
EU/EEA citizens can submit an application for a registration certificate and have the registration certificate issued
All foreign employees can submit an application for a tax card, CPR number (social security number) and health card (National health insurance card) - and ICS can also issue these cards/numbers

International Citizen Service is a nation-wide service for foreign employees/job seekers and Danish companies. Citizens not residing in one of the four host municipalities should visit their own municipal authority in order to get a CPR number and health card. International Citizen Service can refer you to the relevant authority.

The Danish Tax and Customs Administration (SKAT), the Danish Agency for Labour Retention and International Recruitment, Workindenmark and the municipalities will all be present at International Citizen Service. Furthermore, International Community will be present in Aarhus and in Aalborg, where the city's Welcome Centre will also participate.
