Watch the leading zero
Some Denmark postal codes begin with a zero, such as 0800. Spreadsheets and some web forms silently drop it, turning 0800 into 800 — which is either a different place or not a valid code at all. Format the column as text before pasting codes into a spreadsheet.
How an address is written in Denmark

Look up a specific address
For the code covering one particular street or building, Denmark's postal service publishes an official finder: www.postdanmark.dk/da/Privat/Kundeservice/postnummerkort/Sider/Find-postnummer.aspx. It is authoritative and kept current, which third-party copies often are not.
