CPR CARD AND BANKING
CIVIL REGISTRATION NUMBER (CPR): A CPR is a Ten-digit number which uniquely identifies each resident in Denmark. Once you are registered in the CPR System you will receive a yellow health card called a Sundhedskort. This gives you access to medical treatment, allows you to open a bank account, pay taxes, access health insurance and do everything that involves interaction with government agencies and can take 4 weeks to arrive. You can apply for your CPR number in person at the international citizen service office in person in Copenhagen and online at https://lifeindenmark.borger.dk or you can apply online at https://international.kk.dk/live/cpr-registration-and-documents/cpr-number
Ardmac staff will help you apply upon arrival for your CPR.
CURRENCY The currency in Denmark is the Danish Krone. The conversion rate may vary, so it’s advisable to check it before your departure. Typically it tracks the euro around 7.44 dkk to 1 euro. DANISH BANK ACCOUNT: To open a bank account, you will need your CPR number which you will have on your yellow health card, photo ID and proof of address (which will also be on your Health card). For ease of payment when commencing with Ardmac please ensure you set up a revolut account for payroll purposes.
MOBILE SERVICE
DANISH MOBILE SERVICE: Since 2015 the four main operators (TDC/YOU SEE, Telia Denmark, Telenor Denmark & 3 Denmark) have ceased their prepaid operators and focus solely on Subscribers/post-paid customers which is an option to you. As a result, those wanting to use prepaid SIM cards have to deal with the country’s mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO’s). The three main prepaid operators are Lyca mobile, Lebara mobile and Oister. Oister requires your CPR number to register your new sim, so you are best either picking Lebara or Lyca mobile starting off. Lebara sim cards are free at lebara outlets or 50DKK in supermarkets, gas stations and 7-Eleven. The starter kit comes with 10DKK credit. Lycamobile Sim Cards: Are handed out for free at Copenhagen airport, although you have to top up immediately or for 30DKK in gas stations, 7-eleven and supermarkets. Oister sim cards: Are sold for 30DKK (starter credit) or 100 DKK (data only sim card) but remember you need your CPR number. (if you have an ARDMAC work phone you will be able to put your Danish sim card in this phone meaning you will have your new number ready to go! Just remember you will be able to pick a cheap phone and a sim in almost any supermarkets, gas stations or shop across Copenhagen and at the airport.
