Connect your non-Danish eID to your Danish CPR Number

Connecting your eID to a Danish CPR number will ease the future usage of Danish public self-services as a foreigner in Denmark.

If your application can be processed automatically, you can start using your non-Danish eID right away. You will be directed to a manual form if the application cannot be processed automatically. It takes approximately 10 minutes to fill out the form. Your manual application will be processed within 3 to 11 business days.

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 smart phone to take pictures of the necessary documentation.

How to take valid photos with your smart phone:

  • All photographs must be in color and in high quality. All corners of the passport or ID card must be visible in the photos.
  • Your passport: Take photographs of all data pages including the front and back of the cover.
  • Your national ID card: Take photographs of both sides of the card.
