Digital mail for citizens

Mail to and from the public sector often contains sensitive personal information, such as your civil registration number. It is therefore mandatory that you can receive and send your digital mail securely. Your private e-mail address (eg from hotmail, g-mail, ofir etc.) can therefore not be used. Instead, you must use your digital mailbox on borger.dk or mit.dk. 

When you receive the mail, it is done via a secure connection. This means that no unauthorized person can access your mail when it is on its way to and from your digital mailbox. The digital mailbox is protected by your MitID and is as secure as an online bank. The mailbox is connected to your civil registration number. and will follow you whether you change address or change email.

Can I give others read access to my digital mail?

If you would like to receive the mail from the public digitally, but have difficulty using the digital mailbox, you can give reading access to a relative. The person to whom you grant read access uses its own digital mailbox as an input to read the mail that enters your digital mailbox. If you give others read access to your digital mailbox, you will still receive mail in your digital mailbox, but the person with read access can help you read and organize the mail.
