The first step is to register your voluntary club/society. Once it has been registered, it will be given a CVR number. A CVR number is needed if you want to set up a bank account or receive public funding.
Registering a voluntary club or society is quick, easy and free – anyone with a NemID can do it.
Clubs and societies can be registered online on the Danish Business Authority website, Virk.dk. Please note that registered voluntary clubs and societies need to renew their registration once every three years. This can be done on Virk.dk and is also free of charge.
Guide
- Follow this link to the Danish Business Authority website, read the information and log on to Virk’s self-service system using your NemID.
- You must include the following information:
- Name of the club or society
- Address
- Email address
- The Danish Tax Agency (SKAT) will automatically approve your registration and send a message to the digital mailbox of the club/society in question, stating that a certificate of registration can be downloaded at skat.dk.
The CVR number allows you to set up a bank account (a NemKonto Easy Account) for your club/society. The bank you choose will need to see the articles of association and the summary from the founding meeting as well as other relevant information.
Special information for parties and Friday bars
Parties, Friday bars and other clubs/societies that need an alcohol licence because they are intending to serve alcohol must apply to the legal team at the Rector’s Office, and must be registered there.
If you want to set up a Friday bar or organise a party, you can find out what you need to do here and see which forms you need to complete.
