CPR registration
International Citizen Service (ICS East) in International House Copenhagen provides CPR registration services for international citizens living in Copenhagen and many partner municipalities in and outside the capital region. You can apply for CPR registration if you plan to stay in Denmark for more than three consecutive months.
In order to be CPR registered as an international citizen in Copenhagen - or in one of the 37 partner municipalities - you need to have a place to live and stay and plan to stay in Denmark for more than three consecutive months.
Facts about the CPR number
- The CPR number consists of ten digits. The first six digits are your date of birth (day, month and year) while the last four digits provide a unique identification number for all citizens in Denmark. The final four numbers also indicate your gender, ending in even numbers for women and odd numbers for men.
- You can only obtain a CPR number after you arrive in Denmark
- You will receive a yellow health card (sundhedskort) in 4 weeks after you are registered in the Civil Registration System (CPR)
- You can apply for a MitID in connection to your CPR registration.
Forgotten CPR number
If you already have a CPR number but have forgotten the last four digits, you can obtain them from the Civil Registration Office (Folkeregistret).
