Lifeindenmark.dk
The website lifeindenmark.dk contains practical information and rules regarding life and work in Denmark. The site is in English and its primary audience is international citizens coming to work and live in Denmark.
A different audience than borger.dk
Lifeindenmark.dk is an English subsite to Denmark’s National Citizen Portal, borger.dk. The site contains information on living in and moving to Denmark and is written specifically to international citizens, who does not necessarily have in-depth knowledge about Denmark.
Some information is the same as on the Danish borger.dk, and some is different, as different rules apply to international citizens or because international citizens may need another kind of information than Danish citizens.
The site has its own URL, meaning that content can be marketed directly to the target groups of people who move to Denmark to work, study and live.
Information from the public sector
Like borger.dk, lifeindenmark.dk is developed and run by the Danish Agency for Digital Government. Information on the site is maintained by the editorial team at borger.dk/lifeindenmark.dk and by a number of public authorities. Each public authority has the responsibility to ensure that all information on lifeindenmark.dk – within their area of responsibility – is relevant, correct and updated.
The pages on lifeindenmark.dk are organised in a number of categories, for instance:
• Settle in Denmark
• Housing and moving
• Family and children
• School and education
• Money and tax
• Healthcare.
In addition to the information pages, lifeindenmark.dk also showcases a number of online national and municipal self-services. That means that residents can service themselves online via lifeindenmark.dk – for instance to enrol their children in childcare, report a change of address, apply for child benefits, change general practitioner (GP) and complete their tax return.
The online self-services enable all residents in Denmark to help themselves using the digital solutions whenever it’s convenient for them.
