UNDERSTAND DENMARK · LESSON 06

Digital everyday life.
Make it make sense.

Identity, registration and messages are different.

THE IDEA TO UNDERSTAND

Identity, registration and messages are different.

MitID is a digital identity tool. CPR is civil registration. Digital Post is a channel for official correspondence. Learn these as three different functions. When an official message arrives, identify the sender, request and deadline, then use the official support channel if anything is unclear.
