Access Digital Post with non-Danish eID
In Denmark, public authorities send most mail digitally. In order to receive your mail digitally, you need to access Digital Post with an EU/EEA digital, electronic ID, also called eID.
If you do not have a permanent residence in Denmark but a civil registration number (CPR number), you have the option to voluntarily register for Digital Post.
If you register for Digital Post, you are legally obligated to read Digital Post from Danish public authorities.
If you are unable to receive Digital Post in the future, you can request to be exempt from Digital Post and, instead, receive mail from public authorities as ordinary letter mail.

How to
Follow these 2 steps in order to gain access to Digital Post with a non-Danish eID:
1. First, connect your non-Danish eID with your Danish CPR number
- To access Digital Post and other Danish self-services with a non-Danish eID, you must first connect your eID with your Danish civil registration number (CPR number). You only need to connect your eID and CPR number once.
- Not all non-Danish eIDs can be used in Denmark. Please check the list to see the if your national eID gives you access:
- List of countries: access is currently available with eIDs from these countries
- If your non-Danish eID can be used in Denmark, you can connect your non-Danish eID to your Danish CPR number automatically. If you cannot connect automatically, you will be forwarded to an application form.
- Connect your non-Danish eID to your Danish Civil Registration Number
2. Secondly, set up your Digital Post inbox
- Log in with your eID by clicking the button ‘Continue with non-Danish eID’ above the how to-manual on this page (you need to have finished step 1 and connected your eID with your CPR number).
- Follow the instructions to set up your Digital Post inbox.
