Send life certificate - with eID
Send life certificate - with eID. Self-service
As a pensioner living abroad, you must confirm that you are alive every year. You do this by submitting a life certificate.
You only need to submit a life certificate if Udbetaling Danmark has asked you to do so. If you have eID and are registered for Digital Post, you will receive the letter about the life certificate in your digital mailbox.
If you hold a power of attorney for a pensioner living abroad, you will receive an informational letter, but it is the pensioner themselves who must submit the life certificate here on borger.dk/lifeindenmark.dk using eID or MitID.
Connect your non-Danish electronic ID (eID)
To use this self-service, you need to connect your Danish Civil Registration Number (CPR number) with your national electronic ID from an EU/EEA country (eID).

This means that you only have to fill in the life certificate once.
