Income recipient is missing Norwegian national ID number/D number
F179 / MAGNET_EDAG-179
Why am I receiving this error message
You have used an international identifier in order to identify the income recipient. You must use a national identity number, here referred to as a Norwegian national ID number, or a D number if the income recipient has one.
You may be receiving the error message because:
- you have forgotten to specify a D number or a national identity number
- the income recipient has not yet been assigned a D number or a national identity number
Do I have to correct the error
The a-melding has been submitted with information which may be incorrect.
If there is an error, you must correct it by the deadline for submitting the a-melding for the calendar month in which you received the error message.

How to correct the error
- If there are no errors, you do not have to do anything.
- If the income recipient has been assigned a national identity number or a D number, you must specify this number in an a-melding. You should do this in the first a-melding after the income recipient is assigned the number.
NOTE! You must use a national identity number or a D number as soon as you know the number. Both the Norwegian and foreign identifiers must be specified in the first a-melding after the income recipient receives a Norwegian identifier. In subsequent a-meldings, you must only use either the national identity number or the D number. - Submit the a-melding when you have corrected the error. If you use a payroll system, check with your system supplier if you are not sure how to make corrections in your system.
Example - has received a D number
An oil company submits an a-melding containing information regarding Ali and uses an international ID to identify him. Ali is assigned a D number. The company receives error message MAGNET_EDAG-179 because there is no national identity number or D number. It has forgotten to specify a D number.
The oil company submits an a-melding with both an international identifier and a D number, causing these two numbers to be linked together. See more about national identity number, D number or international ID.
Example - has not received a D number
A construction company submits an a-melding with information concerning Pjotr, who has not yet been assigned a D number. The company receives error message MAGNET_EDAG-179 because there is no national identity number or D number.
The company does not have to make any changes.
