Data sources
Our address data is the Danish Address Register (DAR, Danmarks Adresseregister), published by Klimadatastyrelsen (the Danish Agency for Climate Data) through Datafordeleren. Danish public geodata, DAR included, is free, and licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0): you may use it for any purpose, commercial ones included, as long as you credit the source.
Crediting it
If you display or pass on address data you got from this service, credit Klimadatastyrelsen, for example:
Contains data from the Danish Address Register (DAR), © Klimadatastyrelsen, CC BY 4.0. In Danish:
Indeholder data fra Danmarks Adresseregister (DAR), © Klimadatastyrelsen, CC BY 4.0. Put it where your users can find it, such as a footer, an about page or your terms.
What we serve
- Addresses and access addresses are DAR's, taken from Datafordeleren and updated once a month. We store each record in DAWA's flat shape and build the nested and mini shapes from it. Coordinates are held both as WGS84 and as ETRS89 / UTM zone 32N.
- Postcodes are DAWA's list of 23 September 2026. Their bounding boxes and visual centres come from Klimadatastyrelsen's boundaries data (DAGI), also CC BY 4.0.
- Some nested blocks (parish, police district, court district, constituency, polling district, cadastral parcel, zone) are DAWA's values of 23 September 2026, taken from DAGI and Matriklen, and null for addresses created since. They are not kept up to date; see Differences from DAWA.
Company data
The Companies and Company APIs serve Det Centrale Virksomhedsregister (CVR, the Central Business Register), kept by Erhvervsstyrelsen (the Danish Business Authority) and published through Datafordeleren, under CC BY 4.0. Only active companies are held, and only a company's names, form, industry, location address and advertising protection: nothing about the people behind it. If you display or pass on company data you got from this service, credit it, for example:
Contains data from Det Centrale Virksomhedsregister (CVR), Erhvervsstyrelsen, CC BY 4.0.
Reklamebeskyttelse. A company can ask, through CVR, not to be contacted for direct marketing;
its record then says "reklamebeskyttet": true. You must not use such a company for direct marketing.
CVR's terms of reuse require it, and so do our terms.
The data is provided as it is, without warranty of accuracy or completeness. Coverage is Denmark only.
