Ejendomsmægler in DK
What this register publishes today, what is missing, and the smallest change that would move it up.
What was found
Denmark legislated the argument of RVW-6 and did it quietly. The business authority keeps a statutory public register of approved estate agents, and the title itself is protected: only an approved person may use it, or anything that could be confused with it. The part worth borrowing is what happens at the end. The law used to say a person was deleted from the register. It was amended so that the approval is instead registered as deposited, lapsed, withdrawn or revoked. Someone noticed that erasing a person destroys the only record that answers the question a disputed transaction actually asks, which is not whether they are approved now but what the register said then, and why it stopped. Denmark also routes impersonation towards prosecution: where the disciplinary board finds the title used without entitlement, it passes the file to the authority to consider a police report.
What it publishes
| Check | Answer | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| A public page per licence | Yes | Gives a reader something to look at and a checker something to archive and attest against. |
| A bulk export | No | Lets a consumer hold the whole list instead of fetching one licence at a time, and lets anyone hash it. |
| Machine readable | No | A CSV or JSON rather than a page built for a browser. Decides whether checking can be automated at all. |
| Signed | No | Makes the file impossible to forge or mirror convincingly. Nothing reaches grade A without it. |
The next step
Give every licence a stable address
The register exists but lives behind a search form, so there is nothing to link to, nothing to archive and nothing to attest against. A permanent address per licence costs little and moves this row to grade C on its own.
A grade describes a register, not the authority behind it and not the quality of its supervision. An authority can run an excellent register and still sit at grade D because it is a search form.
If this row is wrong, it gets corrected with the correction published beside it. The index is useful only if it can be argued with. Tell the lab.
