What is UDK 390 — Power of attorney for family benefits?
UDK 390 is Udbetaling Danmark's power of attorney (fuldmagt) for family benefits. With it you name a representative — a partner, relative, friend, adviser or a company — who can deal with Udbetaling Danmark, Familieydelse about your cases. It covers all your family-benefit cases, including child support (børnebidrag), child allowance (børnetilskud) and the child and youth benefit (børne- og ungeydelse).
You choose between two levels. An unlimited power of attorney lets the representative act for you and receive all your letters: apply for family benefits, report changes that affect your benefit, complain and discuss your case. A limited power of attorney only lets them discuss your case with Udbetaling Danmark, while you keep handling it and receiving the letters. The form also points to a separate digital power of attorney, given with MitID on borger.dk, for the self-service solution.
FileIt walks you through the form in English with the Danish terms alongside, pre-fills your name from the People in your FileIt vault, splits CPR numbers into their boxes, and prints everything — including names with Polish, Romanian or other accented letters that the PDF's own fields can't print — into Udbetaling Danmark's own PDF. The finished form is saved in your vault. You sign it and send it yourself.

How to fill out UDK 390 — Power of attorney for family benefits, step by step
1 Dine oplysninger (your information)
Your name, CPR number, address and phone number. You are the person giving the power of attorney (fuldmagtsgiver). FileIt splits your CPR number into the six and four boxes around the dash.
2 Skriv, hvem du vil give fuldmagt til (the representative)
The name, CPR or CVR number, address and phone number of the person or company receiving the power of attorney (fuldmagtsmodtager). The number box is headed 'CPR-nummer/CVR-nummer', so a company can be named.
3 Vælg, hvilken type fuldmagt, du giver (type of power of attorney)
Tick one. Ubegrænset fuldmagt (unlimited): the representative may act for you in the case and receive all your letters — for example apply for family benefits, report changes that affect your benefit, complain and discuss your case with Udbetaling Danmark.
Begrænset fuldmagt (limited): the representative may only discuss your case with Udbetaling Danmark, Familieydelse. You still look after your own interests and keep receiving all letters. If you want to give other rights, the form asks you to contact Udbetaling Danmark.
4 Fuldmagt til selvbetjening (digital power of attorney)
Information only: you can also give a digital power of attorney for the family-benefits self-service solution with MitID, or the person can request one from you. That is done on borger.dk, not on this form.
5 Dato og underskrift (date and signature)
You date and sign. FileIt fills in today's date; you sign by hand, or use FileIt's optional e-signature if you send the form digitally.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Having the representative sign instead of you. Only the person giving the power of attorney signs.
- Choosing 'limited' when the representative needs to apply or report changes for you — limited only allows discussing your case.
- Typing a CPR number wrongly. The first six digits are the date of birth (DDMMYY); FileIt checks that they form a real date.
- Forgetting that a new power of attorney replaces any earlier one.
- Using this form for pension, housing benefit or other areas. It covers family benefits only; Udbetaling Danmark has separate power-of-attorney forms for other benefits (for example UDK 290 for pension).
After you fill it out
Sign and date the form, then send it as printed on it: digitally via www.borger.dk/familieydelser-fuldmagt, or by post to Udbetaling Danmark, Kongens Vænge 8, 3400 Hillerød. FileIt doesn't send it for you.
Keep the signed PDF in your FileIt vault and give your representative a copy.
You can withdraw the power of attorney at any time by contacting Udbetaling Danmark, Familieydelse.
