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 a German citizen who is a member of the Danish minority in South Schleswig, and you already have a CPR number, you will not be issued an administrative CPR number. You are still required to register your address with the Civil Registration System (CPR) in Denmark.
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.
