Is this easier than buying a local SIM card at Copenhagen (CPH) Airport? Do I need ID?

Updated April 22, 2026

Yes, an eSIM is significantly easier than buying a local SIM card at Copenhagen Airport, as it's 100% digital and requires no ID registration.

When you arrive at Copenhagen (CPH) Airport and need a local SIM, the process for a physical "prepaid" card can be quite involved. You'll typically need to locate a specific kiosk, such as those often found in a 7-Eleven, wait in line, and then complete a mandatory passport registration process. This identification requirement is standard for prepaid SIM cards under EU law, adding extra time and hassle to your arrival experience.

In contrast, an eSIM offers a much smoother alternative for travelers. It's entirely digital, meaning there's no physical card to find or install. Our eSIM requires absolutely no ID registration, saving you valuable time and ensuring your privacy. You can conveniently install your eSIM even before you depart for your trip, so you are connected the very moment you land in Copenhagen, ready to navigate or contact loved ones without delay.
