You can always change the information registered for a service, see section 7a(5) of the Posting of Workers Act (Udstationeringsloven). However, the start date can only be changed on the first weekday following commencement of the service in Denmark. Changes in the end date must be registered on the first weekday after the change. 

Yes, the information is available to the public.

Public access can only be granted to the following information on active services in RUT:

1. Name of company/business, business address and contact information.
2. Date of commencement and completion of the service.
3. Date of commencement and completion of the service at the individual workplace, if there are several workplaces.
4. Location of supply of the service.
5. Name of the contact person for the company/business.
6. Sector code of the company/business.
7. VAT no. and place of registration in the home country of the company/business, or information that the company/business doesn't have a VAT no. in its home country.
8. Size in terms of number of employees per workplace. 

Only you yourself and the support services at the Danish Business Authority can see the name you have assigned to your service. Naming the service is solely to make it easier for the registrar to find a specific service in the list of registered services if more than one service has been registered in RUT.

It is not compulsory to have an A1 certificate linked to the service. Therefore you do not have to enter whether an employee has an A1 certificate. 

Generally, consultants do not have to register in RUT if they are just on a business trip on which they are looking for work and therefore they are not working as part of the supply of a service for which a contract has been established with a contractor/client in Denmark. Read more about the Executive Order on exemptions here (in Danish): Retsinfo.dk

Yes, temp agencies are also subject to the rules. Therefore, temp agencies which send employees to Denmark also have a duty to register services in RUT.

If you are a foreign registrar, the first thing to do is set up a user account. Click on the 'Start' icon, and this will open a log-in page which you should complete with information such as your email address etc. After this you will receive an email with a link to activate your new user account. You are now ready to start your registration in RUT. If you have a digital signature or a NemID employee signature, you should use this instead.

You can enter the whole address (street, number post code and town/city) in the address search field. If the system already 'knows' the address, the information will automatically appear in the address fields; street name, number, post code and town/city. 

If you designate a person as a contact person, you should note that you have to enter the period in which the person is linked to the service and the period in which the person is the contact person. Several people can be a contact person during a service period, as long as they don't overlap. The entire period of the service must be covered by one or more contact person(s). 

When you enter an address, the system will automatically search in the Danish street register. If the address cannot be found, you can use the map on the registration website and mark the address instead. It may be because it is a building site which has not yet been registered in the street register. When is a worker posted to Denmark? A worker is posted to Denmark when he or she is an employee who usually works in a country other than Denmark, but who is temporarily working in Denmark. A company/business is regarded as posting employees in the following situations:

• When, at its own expense or under its own management, a company/business stations an employee in Denmark in connection with performance of a service for a recipient in Denmark (contractor).
• When a company stations an employee at a place of business, at a company within the same group, or at a company with a similar connection to the company responsible for the posting.
• When a temp agency or a similar labour-providing enterprise stations an employee at a user business. Another condition is that there is an employment relationship between the employee and the posting business, or between the employee and another business which has provided the employee for the posting business. Another condition for a posting is that it is temporary. There is no fixed maximum length of a posting. For a longer posting, e.g. 2-3 years, a specific assessment will be required to determine whether it is a temporary employment or whether the relationship with the host country has become permanent. 

Sector codes are regularly evaluated and amended as required. Therefore, it is possible that you can't find precisely the sector code which describes the work the foreign company/business is to perform. If this happens, choose the sector code which best describes your work. 

In the list of services, click on 'Show' beside the service for which you have no receipt. You will be able to see all the information about the service as well as the receipt, which you will be able to forward to your email. 

If the workplace doesn't have a registered address (e.g. bridge construction, metro construction) you can use the map in the registration website to note the coordinates. 

Yes. When a foreign company/business works temporarily in Denmark, it must be registered in RUT. 

No, registration in RUT is free.

You should set up a new user account and get a new activation link. 

You should contact the Danish Business Authority by email to rut@erst.dk, if you suspect that your user account is being used by someone other than yourself without your permission.

There is a long list of which competent authority is relevant for a specific activity. The competent authority is different from activity to activity. You should send the advance notification to the competent authority (Ministeriet for Forskning, Innovation og Videregående Uddannelser) , which will issue a document. I.e. the authorities in your home country are not involved. 

From 1 January 2011, the contractor has to notify the Working Environment Authority if, three days after the work has commenced, he has not received documentation for a registration in RUT. Otherwise the contractor may be fined.

1. Name of company/business, business address and contact information.
2. Date of commencement and completion of the service.
3. Date of commencement and completion of the service at the individual workplace, if there are several workplaces.
4. Location of supply of the service.
5. Name of the contact person for the company/business.
6. Sector code of the company/business.
7. VAT no. and place of registration in the home country of the company/business, or information that the company/business doesn't have a VAT no. in its home country.
8. Size in terms of number of employees per workplace. A data extract covers data on the registrations made in RUT on the previous day. It is generated in XML format, as the information comes directly from the program behind RUT and it is therefore unfiltered and has not been reviewed by anyone from the Danish Business Authority. 

You can see a snapshot of the services registered in RUT within the search criteria you have selected. For example, if you search under a specific country, you will receive information about the companies from that country which are currently registered in RUT. 

Only the foreign contact person linked to the Danish workplace needs to enter a telephone number. This is so that the authorities can contact the contact person if he/she is not present at the workplace during an inspection. 

You risk a fine of DKK 10,000 if you fail to register a service in RUT. 

You should write the name of the Danish workplace you are working for, including the department if it is a large workplace (e.g. a hospital). 

The Register of Foreign Service Providers (RUT - Registret for Udenlandske Tjenesteydere) is the Danish government's official register to report a foreign service. Foreign service providers (employees and the self-employed) working in Denmark must be registered in RUT.

If a foreign company/business is registered with the Danish Central Customs and Tax Administration (SKAT) for VAT, income tax, etc. SKAT will have issued the company/business with a CVR or SE number. The foreign business should use this number in correspondence and payments to SKAT. 

A contractor is the enterprise or person in Denmark for which/whom the foreign company/business performs work. 

A declaration of qualifications is official approval of a person's professional qualifications. Qualifications can be checked in advance if the profession is regulated (governed by statute) in the EU and it can affect health and safety for other people. You can see whether your profession is regulated in another EU country in the Regulated professions database . The database will tell you which professions are regulated, in which countries, and by which authorities. For example, if you want to work as a baker in Germany, you can click on "Bäcker (DE)". However, you have to know what the job is called in the relevant language. If you cannot find your profession in the database, you can contact the national contact point for recognition of professional qualifications in the country you will be working in. The contact point can also help you find out what documents you have to submit and to what authority. For more information, go to this website: Your Europe

A registration in RUT is information about the work to be performed by the foreign business/company. You should state where in Denmark the work is to be performed, how long it will last in Denmark, the type of work (sector code) to be performed in Denmark, the people who are to work in Denmark, etc. 

A sector code describes the type of work being performed by the business/company. The type of work is divided into categories based on the international classification of business sectors, and each category is assigned a code. 

An A1 certificate states that you are entitled to social security from your home country. If you have social security in your home country, the regulations of that specific country determine whether you are entitled to social security benefits from your home country. This means that you do not have to pay social security contributions in other countries than your home country and that you continue to be entitled to public benefits from your home country such as health insurance, family benefits, unemployment benefits etc. The foreign enterprise (service provider) can ask the relevant foreign authority for an A1 certificate for employees stationed in Denmark. On the basis of the A1 certificate, employees can receive relevant documentation when they are stationed abroad, such as a special health card. For more information, go to this website: Your Europe

This includes the same information as you can see on the bar chart, but with an Excel layout.

The start date is the date on which the foreign business/company starts work in Denmark. The end date is the last date on which the foreign business/company will be working in Denmark.

The fitter rule means that some types of posting do not require registration in RUT. This applies to: - Fitting technical equipment or installations if the work does not take more than eight days and if the employee or self-employed person working in Denmark is a specialist or qualified to fit, install, inspect, repair or inform about, technical installations in Denmark. - Decommissioning or dismantling old machinery, technical installations or installations. 

Two sector codes are linked to a service. One describes the type of work the company/business usually carries out, and it is registered under the home country (the sector code of the foreign company/business). The other sector code describes the type of work being performed by the business/company at the workplace in Denmark (the sector code of the service). Sector codes are based on an international categorisation of business sectors and they are made up of four characters. 

As a general rule, all services carried out in Denmark should be registered in RUT. Registration in RUT is not necessary in the following situations:

1. Participation in seminars and conferences, including researchers, lecturers and similar who have been invited to teach or hold a talk etc.
2. Participation in individual artistic events by professional artistes.
3. Participation in business trips for foreign businesses/companies which do not have a permanent place of business in Denmark.
4. Participation in individual large sports events or trials/training at a Danish sports club by professional sportspeople/coaches.
5. Supply of consultancy services within accounting and auditing for up to eight days.
6. Internal posting by a business, see section 4(1), no. 2 of the Act, for up to eight days. However, this does not apply if the service involves construction work, agriculture, forestry and nursery work, cleaning, including window cleaning, as well as hotel and restaurant work.
7. Cabotage (transport of goods in Denmark in connection with international transport).
8. Fitting technical equipment or installations if the work does not take more than eight days and if the employee or self-employed person working in Denmark is a specialist or qualified to fit, install, inspect, repair or inform about, technical installations in Denmark. Decommissioning or dismantling old machinery, technical installations or installations. 

If the Virk.dk/rut website itself is not accessible, you can try again a little later. If you are unable to complete your registration within the statutory deadline (no later than the first weekday after the change entered into force, see section 7a(5) of the Posting of Workers Act (Udstationeringsloven)), you should send an email to rut@erst.dk (the Register of Foreign Service Providers) and at@at.dk (the Danish Working Environment Authority). The email should include:

The name, address, email and phone number of the foreign business/company.

The nature of the work in Denmark and the sector code.

The RUT number if the business/company has already been issued with one.

The start date and end date of the relevant service in Denmark.

Name and address of the Danish workplace.

Personal information (name, sex, nationality, ID type and number, and date of birth) as well as the periods in which the people are to work at the Danish workplace.

Information about whether the person(s) have an A1 certificate and/or a declaration of qualifications.

Information about the contact person and the period in which the person is to be linked to the relevant service. 

You can always correct a registered service. Therefore, if you discover an error in the information on the workplace, or in the personal information, for example, you should simply correct service already registered. So you do not have to make a completely new registration. 

If you don't know the address of the workplace now, please complete the registration by entering the address by no later than the first weekday after you start work. 

If your registration in RUT is no longer relevant, change the end date to the same date as the registered start date.

Basically, all foreign businesses/companies and self-employed people without employees have to register services in RUT if they are to work temporarily in Denmark. 

The Danish Working Environment Authority (WEA) and the Central Customs and Tax Administration (SKAT) ensure that foreign companies/businesses comply with the Danish regulations on health and safety, tax etc. and foreign businesses have to comply with the same regulations as Danish businesses when they perform work in Denmark.

Only foreign businesses have to register in RUT. Therefore it is not possible to choose Denmark

The Working Environment Authority must be able to identify people at the workplace and ensure that they have been registered in RUT for the relevant service. 

According to the Posting of Workers etc. Act (bekendtgørelse af lov om udstationering af lønmodtagere m.v.), foreign businesses/companies which temporarily perform work in Denmark must submit personal information about the workers they have sent to Denmark as well as the name of the business for which work is to be performed. This is so that the Danish Working Environment Authority can check that the foreign business/company is complying with its registration obligations.

So that the Danish authorities can ensure that foreign businesses/companies are subject to the same health & safety, and tax conditions as Danish businesses.

The law does not allow all data to be made public.
