The Danish health insurance card app (‘sundhedskort-app’) is a voluntary digital version of the plastic health insurance card.
The health insurance card app is valid documentation of the citizen’s right to receive healthcare in Denmark, equal to the plastic health insurance card.
In the health insurance card app, you can automatically view your children's health insurance cards until they turn 15 years old. Your information is automatically updated in the app if, for example, you change address, family doctor (GP) or surname.
You might not be able to use the app everywhere. For instance, some libraries with self-service hours may still depend on the plastic health insurance cards for access, as it is uncertain whether they have updated their scanners to ones that can read the app.
As the app is a part of the National Danish Health Insurance Programme, it is only valid in Denmark.
