Who to notify when moving home in Denmark
Start by registering your new address at Borger.dk, then check your private agreements. Electricity, internet, insurance, banking and subscriptions are not all automatically updated when your address is registered.
Public registration and household details
Register the move at Borger.dk and check the address used in your digital post. If children are moving, check their registration too. Ask the municipality about uncertainties in your own circumstances.
Utilities and the home
Contact the electricity supplier for both departure and arrival. Check heat, water and gas where you hold the agreements yourself, along with internet, TV, the landlord and any housing or owners’ association.
Finance and insurance
Notify your contents insurer and check other insurance policies. Review your bank, pension provider, trade union, unemployment insurance fund, loans and instalment agreements. The insurer needs to know the new home and address.
Everyday contacts and subscriptions
Update work, school or childcare, healthcare contacts where relevant, newspapers, associations, gym membership and online-shop delivery addresses. Tell family and friends, too. Keep a checklist rather than assuming an old account has picked up the new address.
Official sources and further checks
Rules and requirements can depend on your circumstances. Use the relevant official source rather than treating a general moving guide as individual legal advice.
Frequently asked questions
Does address registration update every agreement?
No. Check private suppliers, insurance and subscriptions separately even after registering the move.
Who should I contact first?
Start with official address registration and time-sensitive utilities such as electricity and internet.
Does my insurer need to know?
Yes. Contact the insurer so your contents cover matches the new address and property.
