Order a new health insurance card

Here you can order a new yellow health insurance card ('sundhedskort'). The card is free of charge in connection with a change of address – and with a change of name after getting married. If you lose your health card, you will have to pay for a new card.

You will receive the card within 2 weeks.

The health insurance card app

It is also possible to get a digital version of the national health insurance card. The health insurance card app works the same way as the yellow plastic health insurance card and gives you the same benefits. 

The app is called 'Sundhedskortet'. You can change language from Danish to English in the app. 

Go to App Store or Google Play and search for ‘sundhedskortet’ to download the health insurance card app.

How to

Remember to have your debit card ready to pay any necessary fees. Note that in most municipalities in Denmark you can only pay with Dankort (a Danish debit card).

If you do not have a debit card, you can contact the municipality for help.

  • Click 'Start'.
  • State reason and date of effect.
  • Complete your online payment, if relevant.

You will then get a receipt, which you can print out.
