What is a CVR number?

In short

A CVR number is the business's official ID in the Central Business Register — the company equivalent of a CPR number.

In practice

The CVR number must appear on invoices and is used with the bank, the Tax Agency and customers. Registration happens on virk.dk, and the number follows the business for life.
