Move Checklist
When moving, you need to remember many things. Here you find a checklist of the most important ones.
When you move into or within Randers Municipality, you must report your move to the Central Office of Civil Registration (CPR). You can report your move up to 90 days before the actual move date and no later than 5 days after the actual move date.
You must report the move digitally. Before you begin, be sure to:
- have your MitID.
- know your moving date.
- find out whether you need to change doctor.
Report the move (online self-service solution).
When your move is registered in the Central Office of Civil Registration (CPR), an automatic message is sent to all government offices and institutions where you are registered. These include the motor registry office, the Danish Agency for Institutions and Educational Grants (SU), etc.
You ought to report your move to PostNord shortly before the move date to ensure that your mail arrives at your new home.
Put your name on your mailbox right away, once you have moved in. If you forget it, you will not receive your mail, as it will be returned to the sender.
Read more about moving your mail at PostNord’s website (in Danish).
Report your move to your power and internet providers up to three days before moving (more notice may be required for your internet provider if you have to switch to someone new).
Check whether you need to make any changes in your preliminary income assessment for the Danish Tax and Customs Administration (SKAT) based on your move from one area to another.
When moving, you should contact your insurance company as a change of circumstances and location can affect your insurance policy and premium.
Not everyone automatically receives your new address. You must notify the following directly:
- Employer
- Telephone providers (land lines/mobile plans)
- Insurance companies (home, car, life, health, liability, property, travel, supplementary, etc.)
- Bank or savings bank
- Doctor, specialist, dentist and veterinary
- Electricity and gas provider
- Oil company
- Heating company
- Waterworks
- The office or caretaker of the property
- The Danish Dog Register and the Danish Cat Register
- Rescue teams
- Clubs and recreation groups
- Newspapers and magazines you subscribe to
- Clubs or similar where you have charge cards or membership cards
- The blood bank.
When moving, changing your doctor is free of charge. It is easy to change doctor at the same time that you report your move electronically to the municipality and The Central Office of Civil Registration (CPR). As a rule, choose a doctor whose office is within 15 km of your residence.
