FAQ on DMR codes

A DMR code is a unique three-digit code under which all insured vehicles are registered in the Motor Register by the insurance company.

Companies that offer motor third-party liability insurance in Denmark must have a Class 10 approval from the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority.

Class 10 covers “liability for motor-driven land vehicles”.

Requests for changes must be sent by the risk-bearing company to dfim@dfim.dk. The email must include:

• DMR code

• Name of the code

• CVR number

• Billing information

DFIM will then inform the relevant parties.

A DMR code can only be closed if no vehicles are registered under it.

Once the code has been cleared, the company must notify DFIM at dfim@dfim.dk, and DFIM will ensure that the code is closed with the relevant authorities.

If a person is injured abroad, the injured party must be able to submit a claim in their own language. DFIM must therefore be informed about companies’ and agents’ claims representatives abroad in accordance with the Motor Insurance Directive (Fourth Directive) before a DMR code can be assigned.

Insurance companies must have access to Fællesregistret in order to verify whether a person has outstanding daily fees owed to DFIM. This is necessary to ensure compliance with the prohibition against issuing motor third-party liability insurance to individuals who owe daily fees for failing to maintain the required insurance, cf. Section 106(6) of the Danish Road Traffic Act.

Access to the register is granted upon becoming a member of DFIM and is only available to insurance companies with a Class 10 approval.
