Can tourists use the Rejsekort app in Denmark?

App profile or anonymous card.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

To create an adult profile in the Rejsekort app you must be 18 or older and give an email address, your name and your date of birth. You then set up a payment card or MobilePay, enter a mobile number and type in the activation code sent to it by text message. During every trip the phone must stay on, with mobile data and location services switched on. If you would rather not create a profile, you can buy an anonymous Basiskort for 80 kr (2026) at 7-Eleven at stations, at sales points and at selected kiosks.

Why

  1. The app works on buses, trains, the metro and light rail.
  2. The trips of one day are added up and charged once a day.
  3. The anonymous card can be topped up with cash or a payment card.

Details

Neither the app nor Basiskort can be used on Bornholm and other smaller islands.

Tip

Do not switch on airplane mode during a trip, because it can cause an automatic check-out.

What may differ

The terms of the app do not cover foreign mobile numbers or payment cards, so set up your profile before the first trip to see that it works.

Common misconception

Many visitors think you need a Danish ID number to use Rejsekort at all.

What actually happens

The anonymous Basiskort holds no personal information, has no age limit and can be used by anyone who has it.
