After you and your family have settled into the peaceful everyday life in Sonderborg, there are important legal aspects to keep in mind. This includes the necessary registration of your car. We provide support and practical tips to make this process as smooth as possible.
If you have permanent residence in Denmark and own a car with foreign license plates, you must register the car within 30 days of moving to Denmark. This can be done digitally on the website of the Danish Motor Transport Authority. You will have to pay tax and VAT, which are calculated based on the value of the vehicle.
If you’re from an EU country, you can use your current driving license in Denmark or exchange it for a Danish one without retaking the test. Learn more at lifeindenmark.dk. Non-EU/EEA/Nordic citizens typically need to take a driving test to obtain a Danish license. To exchange your driving license for a Danish EU driving license, you must contact the Borgerservice in Sonderborg Municipality.
