Honestly it’s very convenient. I always get notified when I get new mail and I can just check it on my phone. Don’t need to check the mailbox. We can also digitally sign documents if needed with an app tied to our unique identifier number. That app is also used to sign into government websites, the bank, also to confirm purchases and bank transfers over a certain sum.
Aside from having digital post for public services and official mail from things like financial institutions, nobody’s stopping you from putting paper into a parcel envelope or using DAO who is taking over letter delivery.
This comment is a good example of how a lot of people are unaware about how far ahead in digitisation Denmark is compared to basically all other countries.
God forbid someone needs to send a legally required letter like a bankruptcy or foreclosure notification…
You get those through your digital mailbox. Everyone gets one of those tied to their CPR number.

PS Dao is also taking over physical mail delivery so you can still send them anyways if you really want a paper.
I would no joke love this.

We have an official digital service which provides all official letters and also has the ability to return them as legally signed.
I’m sure there are couriers available.
You can still send letters as before, it’s just another company handling them.
