All tied up in red tape

Well, it has been a while since I last posted, but it has been a busy few weeks packing up the first batch of boxes and dispatching them up to Stockholm in a van with the boyfriend, sorting out what to take and what to throw, filling in forms and taking them to various offices, finding out that I didn't need to be there and didn't have to fill the form in after all...

But now I am back and I have one piece of advice for those leaving Copenhagen to live in another country for more than six months: if you're moving to Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland or the Faeroe Islands, then all you need to do is register with the authorities in that country; if you're going to any other country than those, you need to get yourself down to Folkeregistret (Dahlerupsgade 6), fill in the form called "Udrejse fra Danmark" and hand it in to them.

Well, that is how things are now, but it seems to change frequently, so it is a good idea to check out the website (and in English); that way, you won't be making the same three unnecessary phone calls and visit to the office that I made.
