Connect your non-Danish eID to your Danish CPR Number

You can connect your non-Danish eID to your Danish CPR number to gain access to several Danish public self-services.

The connection process is by default automatic. However, there is a manual process in place when an automatic connection cannot be made.

How to

Connect automatically

  • Click ’Continue with non-Danish eID’.
  • Select your country and follow the instructions.
  • Fill in your CPR number and your email address.
  • If the automatic match is not possible, please follow the steps to either use MitID or proceed to a manual connection (see below).
  • If the match is succesful, you will receive an email from the Agency for Digital Government (identitymatching@digst.dk). You will then automatically be redirected to the digital service you were trying to access, and now you can use your non-Danish eID in Denmark.

MitID alternative if automatic connection fails (continuation from process above):

  • Continue to MitID match. If you have MitID, you can log in to create an automatic match between your Danish CPR number and your non-Danish eID.
  • If you do not have MitID, check the 'I do not have a MitID' box, and continue.

Connect manually

If your application could not be processed automatically, you will be directed to follow the manual process. A link to the manual application form will be presented in the self-service if the automatic and MitID options failed.

Before starting the manual application process, please have the following ready:

  • Your passport or your national ID card.
  • Your Danish CPR number (find it for instance on your Danish tax papers).
  • A smartphone to take pictures of the necessary documentation.

Step-by-step:

  • Follow the link to manual application.
  • Select your country and follow the instructions.
  • Fill in the application.
  • Submit the required documentation.
  • You will receive an email from the Agency for Digital Government (identitymatching@digst.dk) when the connection is completed. If the Agency needs additional information, they will write to you and request that you update your application.
