- Foreign nationals must present a valid passport or other identity document approved for use as a travel document within the EU.
- Nordic nationals must present a passport or an approved ID card (must contain the card holder’s photograph, citizenship and gender) or a valid driving licence, together with a transcript from the population register in the applicant's home country. The transcript must not be older then three months and must bear the stamp and signature of the local or national registration authority.
You must also bring documentation that indicates that it is likely that they need a tax deduction card. An employment contract, a written offer of employment or documentation of a Norwegian-registered business are examples of this.
Tax deduction cards contain no information about work permit status and do not constitute proof of a right to work or stay in Norway. Employers have an independent responsibility for ensuring that all their employees are entitled to work in Norway. Any questions must be addressed to the immigration authorities (Directorate of Immigration).
The requirement to appear in person for control of proof of identity does not apply to persons whose tax office is the Central Office – Foreign Tax Affairs (SFU/2312).
