Overview

​
Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Denmark and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: For most entities CVR = SE number; EU VAT ID is “DK” + 8-digit CVR (e.g., DK12345678). Certificate from virk.dk or Skat. Registration number: For most entities CVR = SE number; EU VAT ID is “DK” + 8-digit CVR (e.g., DK12345678). Certificate from virk.dk or Skat.

How documents combine

For each evidence area, this table shows whether the listed documents are alternatives (any one of) or a bundle (all required). The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below.

​
Documents to collect

The physical documents you’ll collect from your customer, with the evidence area each one proves. One document can prove multiple areas — for example, Brazil’s Cartão CNPJ covers both tax and business-registration proof, so it appears once with both areas listed. Not applicable in Denmark: Operating Permit. Skip these areas — no local artifact exists.

Collection notes

  • Legal Registration: Downloadable from datacvr.virk.dk; confirms CVR number, registered address, entity type, status, management.
  • Constitutive Documents: Both filed with Erhvervsstyrelsen at incorporation; Vedtægter is the ongoing governance document; Stiftelsesdokument confirms founders and initial capital.
  • Tax Registration: Issued by Skattestyrelsen; confirms SE number, VAT/payroll registrations. CVR number doubles as tax reference; VAT certificate printable from virk.dk.
  • Sector-Specific License: Required for banks, payment institutions, e-money, insurance, and investment firms. Licence register at finanstilsynet.dk.
  • Ownership Records: The Ejerbog (share register) is maintained internally by the company per Danish company law. It records legal shareholders and their ownership stakes. For ApS, the share register need not be filed with Erhvervsstyrelsen but must be kept at the registered office.
  • Governance Records: Management (direktion = executive directors; bestyrelse = supervisory board) listed publicly in CVR with roles and signing authority combinations.
  • Signing Authority: CVR records signing-right combinations (tegningsret); board resolution or POA needed when authority is not self-evident from CVR.
  • Address: Conduit universal policy: lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement, with utility/bank dated within 90 days. Same evidence satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks.
  • Good Standing: Erhvervsstyrelsen does not issue a separate good-standing certificate; a dated CVR-udskrift from virk.dk confirms current active status and serves the same purpose (subsumed-by-extract pattern).

​
Person roles

When you submit a person on the application body, set their role to one of Conduit’s canonical BusinessPersonRole values. Use this table to map a local corporate-governance title onto the right canonical role.

Notes

  • CVR = SE = VAT root: A single 8-digit CVR number serves as the company’s registration ID, tax/SE number, and VAT base (prefixed “DK”); requests for separate “tax certificate” documents will return the same number in different contexts.
  • IVS legacy data: Abolished 15 April 2019; any IVS still showing in CVR post-2021 is in compulsory dissolution or already struck off — treat as inactive.
  • ApS minimum capital cut to DKK 20,000 effective 2025-02-27: Prior threshold was DKK 40,000; legacy documents or older onboarding data may reflect the old amount — verify current CVR filing.
  • AMLR (EU) 2024/1624 transition: Full direct applicability from 2027-07-10; until then, AMLD6-transposed Danish national rules (including the 2025-09-01 access restriction) are in force. Monitor for further implementing acts through 2026–2027.
