Shortly after settling in, we were advised to sign up for a CPR card. This is the Danish Personal Identification number which containts information regarding an individuals current and previous addresses, names, civil status, name of your main doctor,citizenship as well as the CPR number. The CPR number is composed of 10 digits, 6 of which are the individuals date of birth and the remaining 4 are numbers unique to that person. The last digit often refers to the individuals gender:
even number = female and odd = male.
The CPR number enables efficient communication between danish national registers and is required to access all services some of which are publicly funded care, opening a bank account, signing up for the gym, making payments to accounts and connecting utilities.
