Moving to Denmark: CPR Number, Customs and Delivery
Complete guide to moving to Denmark: how to get your CPR number, EU duty-free rules for household goods, and door-to-door delivery in 7-10 days.
Moving to Denmark from Turkey combines relatively straightforward logistics with a few important administrative steps. As an EU member state, Denmark allows duty-free import of used household goods when you permanently relocate — and with Avrupaya, door-to-door delivery to Copenhagen or Aarhus takes just 7–10 days. The most important formality to tackle on arrival is registering for your CPR number.
The CPR Number: Denmark's Personal Registration System
The CPR number (Det Centrale Personregister) is Denmark's national personal identification number. You'll need it to access healthcare, open a bank account, register with authorities, and much more. Registration takes place at the local Borgerservice (citizen services) office and requires your passport, residence permit, and proof of address. Once registered, you'll also receive the "gule sundhedskort" — the yellow health card that gives you access to the Danish healthcare system.
EU Duty-Free Import for Household Goods
Denmark's EU membership means that used personal household items are generally exempt from customs duty and VAT when you are permanently moving your residence to Denmark. The goods must have been in use for at least six months, and you must be able to document that the relocation is permanent. Avrupaya handles all customs declarations and paperwork in full compliance with Danish regulations.
