Get your CPR number and residence document
When arriving in Aarhus, you must be issued with a CPR number (only for students living in the municipality of Aarhus) and a EU residence document (only for EU/EEA students).
What you need to do depends on when you arrive in Denmark. Please read and follow the procedure carefully.
Arrive in Denmark earlier than 6 weeks before study start
If you arrive in Denmark more than 6 weeks before semester start, you will need to arrange these permits yourself and make your own appointment: get more information on getting the right permits yourself.
Arrive in Denmark later than 6 weeks before study start
If you arrive later than 6 weeks before semester start, you will be invited to partake in a “CPR day” at Dokk1. Here you can apply for both CPR number and residence permit at the same time and the process will be administered faster.
