The representative of your association could, for example, be a chairman, another board member, or a treasurer of the association, provided the individual is registered in the CVR (Central Business Register).

Look up your association in CVR (Central Business Register) to find out if the representative is listed. You can do so by reviewing the section “Foreningsrepræsentant” that means association representative in Danish. If this section is missing, the representative of your association is not registered.

If you intend to register the representative of your association in the CVR (Central Business Register), please refer to the following guide. Kindly note that the representative’s name and private address will be publicly available on CVR.dk and that the guide is in Danish.
