How do you register a NemKonto?

Two ways to set up your NemKonto.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

You need a Danish CPR number first. Then either ask your Danish bank to register one of your accounts as NemKonto, or log in to the NemKonto self-service at nemkonto.dk with MitID and choose an account. With self-service you get an activation letter by post to your CPR address, usually within 10–14 working days, and the NemKonto is not active until you enter the code. The code is valid for 60 days from the day you nominated the account.

Practical info

Why

  1. Public payments go only to a registered NemKonto.
  2. The letter by post protects you against fraud.
  3. A wrong CPR address can stop the letter from reaching you.

Details

The activation letter is never sent by email, Digital Post or to another address, for security reasons.

Tip

Check that your address in the CPR register is correct before you choose or change your NemKonto.

What may differ

Post to an address abroad can take longer than 10–14 working days.

Common misconception

Some think the NemKonto works as soon as they pick it online.

What actually happens

After self-service the account is only active once you enter the code from the letter.
