Who delivers letters in Denmark in 2026?
Letters moved from PostNord to dao.
Short answer
In 2026 letters in Denmark are delivered by dao. PostNord stopped delivering letters in Denmark on 1 January 2026, and dao took over letters to and from abroad at the same time. dao delivers ordinary letters to the whole country at the same price wherever the address is. You post a letter in a red dao letterbox inside a daoSHOP, and dao delivers to all addresses in Denmark 365 days a year.
Why
- PostNord ended letter delivery in Denmark on 1 January 2026.
- dao handles domestic letters and letters to and from abroad.
- Parcels are open: you can choose PostNord, dao or another company.
Details
Registered letters to other countries are the exception: in 2026 you still hand them in to PostNord.
Tip
Buy the postage in the dao app or on send.dao.as before you go, then you only need to drop the letter in the box.
What may differ
Opening hours of each daoSHOP depend on the shop, so check the map on dao.as before you go.
Common misconception
Denmark no longer has any letter post since PostNord stopped.
What actually happens
Letters still reach every address in Denmark: dao took over and delivers all year.
