/ DANGDI / DANGDI / DANGDI /A system error in Denmark's crime register is delaying job hires. If you applied to work with children, your start date may be delayed.
An IT failure in the Central Crime Register has lasted for two weeks. It stops authorities from issuing mandatory child certificates. Danish law requires these background checks for anyone working with minors.
The issue affects new staff at crèches, kindergartens, and schools. Hundreds of job hires across Denmark are currently on hold. Employers cannot legally onboard staff without a clear certificate.
Authorities are working to fix the system error in the register. According to The Copenhagen Post, the backlog continues to grow.
