If you do not have a permanent residence in the country, it will no longer be required of you to use Digital Post when communicating with Danish public authorities.
If you leave the country for a shorter or longer period, your Digital Post account will still be active by default in order for you to receive secure Digital Post from Danish public authorities. If you do not want to receive Digital Post from Danish public authorities after having left Denmark, you must apply for an exemption – preferably, before you leave the country.
What should I do before I leave Denmark?
If you do not want to receive Digital Post from Danish public authorities after having left the country, you must apply for an exemption due to departure. You do this by showing up at your Danish local municipality – therefore, remember to get it done before moving abroad.
What can I do if I regret my exemption?
If you regret your exemption, you can sign up for Digital Post voluntarily again at any time, even if you live abroad. You can have your exemption revoked by showing up at the municipality, or you can do it yourself via Digital Post:
- Log in to Digital Post with your MitID.
- Click on 'Register senders'.
- You will now see a list of senders. Under the category 'Public authorities', you are exempt from Digital Post from the public sector.
- Click on 'Cancel' to cancel your exemption.
- Confirm your email address and/or mobile number under your profile information. Then, you will receive a notification when you receive new Digital Post. Please note that you can only use Danish mobile numbers with the country code +45.
What happens if I move back to Denmark?
Suppose you move back and get permanent residence in Denmark again. In that case, your exemption will automatically revoke, and you will receive Digital Post from the public authorities again. If you are not able to receive post from Danish public authorities digitally, you must apply for an exemption at your local municipality.
