We advise you to buy reusable bags or reuse the one you already have. ● Download the “to good to go app” http://toogoodtogo.dk/ . The app helps you find restaurants nearby that give discount prices on food that they would throw away. “Pant” ● You pay for something called “pant” when you by something to drink. ● The aim is to recycle and avoid plastic bottles everywhere. ● You can get your money back by returning it to the bottle machines which can be found at most supermarkets When you are done you press on the green button and get a receipt.

In total, more than 57 million passengers took the metro, which was over 1 million passengers more than in 2014. 2015 was also characterised by the adverse aspects of the implementation of major infrastructure im- provement projects. We completed the installation of platform doors at the many overground metro stations. The major construction projects at Nørreport were also completed, so that passengers can now transfer easily and effectively between bus, train and metro at Denmarkʼs largest traffic hub. The platform doors at all metro stations ensure pas- sengers even more stable operation, more departures during rush-hour periods, and stations that offer better shelter from the wind and adverse weather conditions.

    CPR number and residence documents Frederik Damkjær Hansen, International admission 18-08-2021 . 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 Denmark (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. 2 2 0 . 0 8 . How to get the CPR number • You must have a Residence Permit (Non EU students) or an EU Residence Document (EU students) in order to receive the Danish CPR number • EU students can apply for their CPR number online through this link: : https://kkih-prod-mob.f2- cloud.com/SelfService/submission/submit/ICS_AFC but must bring the document on the day of registration in International House Copenhagen. • EU students have to book an appointment with the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) to get the residence document.
