Registering as a foreigner living in Copenhagen

One you arrive in CPH, you will have to register your presence. This is the very first step in getting all your papers in order and get your CPR.

If you are a European citizen go to:
Statsforvaltningen Hovedstaden
Borups Allé 177
København

EU Residence permit

If you are coming from outside the EU, go to:
Udlændingeservice - Foreigners Center
Ryesgade 53
2100 København
t. 3536 6600

Outside EU Residence permit

You will need to prove that you have means to sustain yourself (and eventually your family) for at least one year. You can prove that by showing a signed work contract or by showing your bank account balance (which will have to show more than 8000 euros in it).
