Moving and change of address

Report a move here if you are moving to Sønderborg Municipality from another municipality or if you are moving to another address within Sønderborg Municipality.

If you move and change address, you must report the move to the municipality no later than 5 days after you change residence. If you do not report your move in time, you may be fined.

Watch this informational video about reporting a move.

Do you want to change doctors in connection with your move?

It is free to change doctors, as long as the choice of doctor is made at the same time as your notification of moving to the municipality's population register. If you wait to make your choice of doctor, you will be charged a fee. 

How do I report my child moving?

A child, like adults, must be registered at the address where they stay most of the time. This also applies if you, as parents, live separately, and regardless of which of you is the residential or contact parent.

If your child moves home with the child's other parent, the parent with whom the child will live must notify the child of the move. Log in with your MitID and select "I am moving a non-resident child/children home to my address".

Children aged 15-17 can also report moving themselves with their own MitID. 

How do I report moving abroad?

If you are staying abroad for more than six months, you must register as an expatriate before leaving. If you move to either Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland or the Faroe Islands from Denmark, you must report the move in your new municipality of residence. 

Move your address abroad here or change your previously registered foreign address.

If you move abroad for less than six months, you can keep your Danish population register address if you do not borrow or rent out your home.

How do I remove someone from my address?

If a person is registered at your address who does not live there, you can request Citizen Service to have the person deleted from the address.

Citizens' Service will conduct an investigation into where the person has moved.

While the matter is being investigated, the person in question will still be registered at your address.

If you know the person, you can ask them to change their address yourself. This is often quicker than if Citizen Service has to contact the person.
