About Business in Denmark

Both the mailbox and the messages in it are called Digital Post and ensures safe communication between you and public authorities in Denmark. As confidential information is often exchanged herein, safety is important.

You receive Digital Post from public authorities in Denmark when you create a CVR-number. You are obligated to read it because it concerns important details about your organization.

This can be post regarding maternity leave, reimbursement of sickness benefits or criminal records. These messages come as Digital Post.

In Digital Post you can:

• Receive post from public authorities

• Write to public authorities.

All businesses, associations and organisations with a CVR-number in Denmark receive Digital Post.

If you are unable to obtain a broadband connection of 512 k/bit or you are unable to manage the post digitally, you can be exempted from Digital Post and receive it as physical mail instead.

You choose freely whether you want to read Digital Post on Business in Denmark and Virk or on e-Boks, mit.dk or in the Digital Post app. Digital Post from public authorities is available on all platforms. If you want to read post from private companies, you have to use e-Boks and mit.dk.

To access a company’s Digital Post, the company must have established either MitID Erhverv or MitID Privat, and a Rights Administrator (in Danish a ‘Rettighedsadministrator’ which is the admin that handles user privileges) must be appointed.

The company’s legal status determines which type of MitID it can use and how a user-privileges admin (Rettighedsadministrator) is assigned.

When a company logs in to a Digital Post platform, it is redirected to the Rettighedsportal for Digital Post (the website for user privileges administration), where an employee is designated as a Rights Administrator. Once appointed, the Rights Administrator can log on to any Digital Post platform and read, send and manage messages from public authorities.

Companies using MitID Privat (for example a sole proprietorship) are automatically assigned a Rights Administrator, who can log on to the Digital Post platforms and read messages from public authorities.

What can a Rights Administrator do?

In Rettighedsportalen, a Rights Administrator can:

• Grant themselves and other employees' access and permissions to Digital Post messages and portals, the Rights Portal, and Administrativ Adgang (the website used to manage an organization's Digital Post settings and permissions).

• Authorize other companies or private individuals to access the company’s Digital Post.
