Both you and your child must have a civil registration number (CPR number) and an officially registered address in Copenhagen when you enroll your child for public childcare. Your choice of childcare will depend on the age of your child.

Enrolment procedure for newcomers

Contact the local area office closest to the district in which you live. You can find the address and contact information for your local area office listed in the table below. You must provide the following information when you contact the local area office:

  • Name of the child
  • CPR number
  • Address
  • Parents' contact information (email and/or telephone number)
