. What is a CPR number and why do you need it?

What is a CPR number? • A CPR number is a personal identification. The CPR number consists of ten digits – the first six digits are your date of birth and the last four are your unique identification number.

Why do you need a CPR number? • You are legally required to have a CPR number when you are residing in (for more than 3 months). • Almost all public authorities in Denmark use the CPR registry system to avoid duplicate registration and to secure a person’s identity. • You can use your CPR number in many situations: • To open a Danish bank account • When you are at the doctor (the yellow health insurance card) • Danish phone number • Travel card (rejsekort)

NB! You shouldn’t hand out your CPR number to everyone.
