Are you leaving home? Does it seem overwhelming?
On this page you'll find tips and advise of what to remember when moving.
Where do I start?
At your local post office you can get a "Moving folder", which among others contains an address changing form for the post office, a checklist and cards to send saying that you are moving (which you can send to family and friends).
Register your new address.
To whom do I tell, that I have moved?
- According to Danish law you have to register your new address with the register office (Folkeregistret), at the latest five days after you have moved.
- You have to fill in a form at the post office with your new address. Post will be sent on to you, up to ½ year after you have left your old address.
- It is free to send moving-cards telling friends and family you have moved.
- Your (mobile-) phone company.
- The school / place of education.
