General Practitioner (GP)

Once you have a CPR number, you will be allocated a GP or laege and this will usually be handled as part of getting your paperwork done with the International Citizens Service.

• Where your GP is will depend on which neighourhood you live in in the city.

• Once you’re registered, you’ll get sent a health insurance card (yellow card)

• You’ll need to apply for a European health card (which is blue) separately if you want one
