The website http://www.borger.dk/ is the Danish National Citizen Portal, which provides a single point of access to information about public authorities and their online services.

To access public self-services on http://www.borger.dk/ and on other public portals, MitID is needed. MitID is a personal electronic ID. It is primarily a phone application (app) used to access public self-services. On the MitID app, the citizen can register with a civil registration number (Central Personal Registry- number (CPR-number)), as well as a passport or ID card, and create an account with a user ID and personal code. It is also possible to physically register a MitID through the Citizen Service Centre. The public self-service portal will connect with the app, and the log on-attempt will have to be verified through the app using either biometrics, a QR-code or an OTP (One Time Password). If you cannot use the app, there are alternative methods such as a handheld code-device, an audio code reader or a MitID chip.  Every person residing in Denmark for more than 3 months is registered in the CPR system (Central Personal Registry). The system provides a person with a personal identification number (CPR number).

A CPR number is provided to citizens with a permanent address in Denmark by the municipal in the city of residence. Citizens of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland are free to work and live in Denmark without a residence document.

You can read messages from Danish public authorities directly via your personal digital mailbox (Digital Post) which is the online platform, where most of the citizens’ written communication with public authorities happen. EU-citizens with a MitID or an eID from another EU country can access Digital Post. Digital Post has several different points of access, including http://www.borger.dk/, http://www.mit.dk/, http://www.e-boks.dk/ and the Digital Post app. The Digital Post app and http://www.borger.dk/ are administered by the Agency for Digital Government (Digitaliseringsstyrelsen).

Most of the national digital service infrastructure (eID, NemKonto, nemLogin, MitID, Digital Post, Health Insurance Card App and Drivers Licence App) are administered by the Agency for Digital Government under the Ministry of Digital Government and Gender Equality. The Ministry of Urban, Rural and Ecclesiastical Affairs is responsible for other matters relating to registration of individuals, name registrations and documents for individuals. The local church offices or municipalities at the place where the individual resides, administers the direct contact with citizens.

The certificates mentioned below, issued online are not officially signed and are without an official authority stamp. If a foreign authority requires authorisation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can, upon request, assist in Apostille and Legalizing of the document at a fee of DKK 210 (approximately EUR 28). Company documents issued for trade purposes can be legalized for free.

In the field of Justice most of the online public services are provided by The Danish Court Administration (Domstolsstyrelsen).

Information regarding companies is accessible via http://www.virk.dk/.
