You have the option to change to a new doctor
When you register your change of address, you can choose a new doctor or keep your current doctor. You can choose a new doctor within a radius of 5 km from your new home, free of charge.
Choose your doctor from a list of general practitioners (GP) in the Copenhagen area. However, be aware that not many doctors are open to taking on new patients at the moment.
Receive your new yellow Health Card
Your name should be clearly displayed on your mailbox so that you can receive your new yellow health card by regular post. This usually takes 2-4 weeks and it is free of charge.
If you do not receive the card after 4 weeks, contact a Citizen Service Center within 60 days. After 60 days you will pay an additional fee.
