Leaving Denmark

Before you leave Denmark, remember to take care of the following things:

Transcript of Records

Before you leave please make sure that your coordinator knows where to send your Transcript of Records. You should provide your coordinator with the exact details of where to send the Transcript - either your home address or an address at your university. Please note that at most departments the Transcript of Records will not be ready until late June.

Housing - reimbursement of deposit

The deposit is used to cover expenses that arise if your room is damaged or dirty, when you leave. If your room is in good condition, the full deposit will be returned to you (except for a small bank fee). Please fill out the Reimbursement of Deposit form before you move out. You can submit the form online or you can print the form and hand it in at the IC (find the online form here). About 3 months after you have moved out, the deposit will be returned to you.

Inspection

Make an appointment with your janitor or the IC accommodation to inspect your room before you leave. Please check your Housing Information Folder for details. Also note that you will have to be present during the inspection.

National Registry Office

Before you leave Denmark, you have to contact the National Registry Office (Folkeregistret) to notify them about your address in your home country. In order to do this please send an email to: folkeregister@aarhus.dk or see the Citizen Service at the Town Hall, Rådhuspladsen 2, 8000 Aarhus C. Remember to state:

  • Your full name and address
  • The date of your departure
  • Your cpr number
  • The country you are moving back to

If you lack to deregister within two weeks after you moved out, you will risk to get fined by the municipality.

Change of Address

Before you leave Denmark permanently, do not forget to register your new address at the post office and at your Danish bank. Provide them with a forwarding address.

Bank

Talk to your Danish bank about closing your bank account.
