Information in the a-melding does not correspond with the information in the Register of Legal Entities

Why am I receiving this error message?

You have entered a legal organisation number rather than an organisation number for enterprise (sub-entity).

This may be because you: 

• specified an incorrect legal organisation number
• should have specified an organisation number for sub-entity/enterprise

All enterprises/sub-entities must have a separate organisation number. If you do not have an organisation number, or if you want to find the appropriate organisation number, see www.brreg.no.

Do I have to correct the error?

Yes, the a-melding contains serious errors and/or omissions which you must correct. The a-melding has been rejected.

You must correct the error by the deadline for submitting the a-melding for the calendar month in which you received the error message.

Severity: Rejection

How to correct the error

1. Check the organisation numbers you entered.
   
   
2. At www.brreg.no, you can check which sub-entities/enterprises belong to the main entity/declarant. The enterprise in the a-melding must be an organisation number for sub-entity/enterprise. 
   
   
3. If you do not have a sub-entity/enterprise in the Register of Legal Entities and are therefore unable to specify an organisation number for enterprise in the a-melding, the enterprise in the a-melding may be an organisation number for main entity/declarant.
   
   
4. Submit the a-melding when the error has been corrected. If you use a payroll system, check with your system supplier if you are not sure how to make corrections.
