When have you had residence in Denmark for at least 5 years?

The Civil Affairs Agency uses information from the Central Personal Register (CPR) to assess whether you have lived in Denmark, the Faroe Islands, or Greenland for at least five years.

It is not a requirement that you have had residence in Denmark for 5 consecutive years. It also does not matter how long it has been since you lived in Denmark or how old you were when you lived in Denmark.
