Bring photo ID when visiting the reading rooms
All users of the reading rooms must be registered anew, as the Danish National Archives is implementing anew registration system for the reading rooms
New registration system for the reading rooms
Starting 28 July 2022, the Danish National Archives is implementing a new registration system for the reading rooms, as the old system will soon be discontinued. For users of the reading rooms, this means that you will have to be registered in the new system, even if you have already registered yourself in the old one.
You should therefore make sure to bring your health insurance card and a valid photo ID with you the first time you visit our reading rooms from and including 28 July.
Even if you use the health insurance card via an app/your mobile phone, it is a good idea to bring the physical (plastic) card for your registration, as it makes it easier for us to register you in the new system.
Once you have been set up in the new system, you will be able to check in with either version of your health insurance card – the physical or digital one on your phone – in the future.
The implementation of the new system and registration of users in the system will begin in Copenhagen on 28 July before continuing in the reading rooms in Odense, Aabenraa and Viborg in early August.
