    Letter deliveries continue as always, it’s just another company delivering the service.
    The company taking over is already in the parcel and morning paper delivery service, and letters today are so few in Denmark, that they can probably take that up pretty easily.
    Letters are so rare here that last year our household only received 3 letters, and 2 of them were small medical test kits, that would probably have been cheaper to send as parcels. So in reality I count it as only 1 letter, and the previous year I don’t recall receiving a single letter!

    We have a digital service which provides all official letters and also has the ability to return them as legally signed.

      Crazy to be hear letters are rare in Denmark, I’m drowning in letters in Germany! If you apply for an official online service, they send you a letter with the pin code. Letters are kinda used as notifications here too.

        To me it sounds weird to “apply for an official online service”. We have access to all public online services through the same login we use for banks and the official public digital mail service.
        No matter if it’s tax, health, prescription renewal, the bank or whatever, we login through the same login service, and every danish citizen automatically has access to all public services without applying and without delay.
        Even people who are not citizens, like for instance exchange students are issued access to this system.
