Denmark's Last Letter: A Digital Shift & Nostalgic Farewell
Update: 2025-12-21
Description
Denmarks postal service, a four-century-old tradition, is set to end on December 30th, as PostNord, the company running it, shifts focus to parcel deliveries due to a significant drop in letter volumes. The iconic red postboxes are being sold off, and jobs are being cut. However, young Danes are bucking the trend by sending more letters. The transition to digital mail is nearly complete, with 97% of Danes over 15 using the MitID digital ID. Despite this, handwritten letters remain precious, hinting at a quiet charm that might endure.
