What is an EAN-number?

An EAN-number is 13-digit identification, which every public institution must have. It is primarily used when a business must do e-invoicing to the public sector. The EAN-number tells which unit in the City of Copenhagen who is responsible for the purchase. It is important that the correct EAN-number is on your e-invoice, so that it will be paid on time.

The EAN-number can be found on the electronic order under EAN location number.

If you have not received an electronic order, you will have to be informed of the EAN-number by an employee in the City of Copenhagen, who is ordering the product or the service.

How quickly does the City of Copenhagen pay its contractors?

The City of Copenhagen’s payment deadline is generally 30 days.
