  2. To those who have been previously registered with a CPR number: If you have been living in Denmark before and was issued a CPR number, you need to re-enter before you can use your CPR number. You can register your re-entry in the online CPR registration system. - Apply online
    When your application is being processed, you will be receiving an email with an invitation to the International House where you must appear in person to finalise the application. Once approved, your CPR number will be reactivated and your new health card will be sent to you.
  3. No CPR Number: If you haven't been issued a CPR number (social security number), then you haven't been registered in the Central Person Register. You need a CPR Number in order to have a Yellow Health Card. When you apply for a CPR number, a yellow health card will be ordered for you when your application is accepted.
