How do I set up MobilePay for my child under 15?
Your child can get MobilePay from the age of 7.
Unfortunately, we can’t automatically retrieve information about parental responsibility from the Danish Civil Registration System (CPR). That would have been very, very easy.
Instead, there are a few steps you’ll need to follow: First, download a PDF containing your child’s register information from borger.dk. Then upload the PDF to our secure site so we can verify that you are the child’s parent or guardian.
The easiest way to do all of this is from a computer. Once that’s done, you can switch to your phone – and from there, adding your child through your profile in the app is pretty straightforward.
How to add your child
- Log in to borger.dk. Go to Registerindsigt and select your child in the top-right corner. Then download it as a PDF.
- Upload the PDF to our secure page. We’ll analyse it quickly, after which you can start or continue the registration process in the app.
- Open MobilePay and go to your profile. From the menu at the top, select ‘Add child’ and follow the steps.
We’ll send a text message to the other parent, letting them know that you’ve created a profile for the child.
All parents must give their consent before the child can send money to other people. To give consent, go to your profile, tap your child’s name and enable ‘Allow your child to make MobilePay transfers’.
From here, you can also allow your child to pay in shops, add a card (if they are at least 13 years old), pay online, and create and view wish lists in MobilePay.
Please note: If the child has two parents, both must be MobilePay users.
