How do you get notified about new Digital Post?
Alerts about new letters.
Short answer
You can get a message by email, SMS or both when new Digital Post arrives. You set it up under Notifikationer in the borger.dk menu or in the settings of the Digital Post app. SMS alerts are usually sent between 10.00 and 18.00, and email and push alerts between 08.00 and 18.00. Alerts about new Digital Post normally contain no clickable links, so treat a message with a link with care.
Why
- Alerts can come by email, SMS or push.
- Alerts tell you to log in, not where to click.
- Scammers pose as authorities.
Details
Your Digital Post is the same on borger.dk, in the Digital Post app, on e-Boks and on mit.dk, so you can open the letter wherever you prefer.
Tip
Open the app or type borger.dk yourself instead of clicking a link in an alert.
What may differ
Authorities sometimes include a link in a message, so check the sender carefully before you click.
Common misconception
A text message about new post with a login link is always from the authorities.
What actually happens
Alerts normally have no clickable links, and scammers pretend to be authorities.
