If you are staying abroad for less than six months

If you are staying abroad for less than six months, but you do not have full disposal of your residence in Aarhus while you are gone, you must also report your move.

If you are staying abroad for less than six months and you are not sure whether you have full disposal of your residence, please contact the National Registration Office (part of Citizen Service / Borgerservice) at 89 40 10 30.

The National Registration Office will guide you on whether you must report your move. 

If you return to Aarhus after having reported your move abroad

If you have reported your departure you are registered in the Civil Registration System (CPR system) as having left Denmark. Since you have been issued with a CPR number on a previous occasion you must follow these guidelines when you return.
