Domstolsregister

The Domstolsregister, or Court Register, is a digital database maintained by the Danish judiciary to provide public access to information about Danish courts and their cases. Established to enhance transparency and efficiency in the legal system, it serves as a central repository for case-related data, allowing users to search for ongoing or concluded proceedings across various courts in Denmark.

The register covers civil, criminal, and administrative cases, though the extent of available information varies depending on the type of case and applicable privacy laws. Users can access basic details such as case numbers, parties involved, court assignments, and procedural stages. Some information, particularly in criminal cases involving minors or sensitive matters, may be restricted to protect privacy.

The Domstolsregister is accessible online through the official Danish judiciary website, where users can perform searches using keywords, case numbers, or party names. The system is designed to be user-friendly, offering filters to refine results and links to relevant court decisions or documents where available. While the register provides valuable insights into the Danish legal process, it does not include full case files or detailed legal arguments, which remain confidential or subject to specific disclosure rules.

The platform is regularly updated to reflect changes in case status, ensuring that the information remains current. It also supports the work of legal professionals, journalists, and the public by facilitating easier access to court-related data. As part of Denmark’s broader digitalization efforts, the Domstolsregister aligns with European Union directives on open justice, promoting accountability and public trust in the judicial system.
