The 60-second version
Danish bank closure needs zero balance, Skat annual interest statement, account termination letter, and EUR SWIFT to NRE before losing MitID.
MitID still active until bank confirms closure
Danish retail bank needs NemKonto deregistered and all direct debits stopped before closure.
Skat reports interest annually — retain årsopgørelse for India overlap year.
