Registration of marriage solemnized under foreign law
If you have married abroad under foreign law, you can have the marriage registered in the National Population Register.
You must be registered in the National Population Register with a national identity number before we can register the marriage.
Dette må du sende inn
For å få ekteskapet registrert i Norge, må du sende inn både erklæring om ekteskap og original vigselsattest.
Erklæring om mitt ekteskap
Last ned og fyll ut skjemaet: Erklæring om mitt ekteskap
Ektefellene skal fylle ut hver sin erklæring.
Hvis en av ektefellene ikke har noen tilknytning til Norge, skal bare den som har tilknytning til Norge sende inn skjemaet. Med tilknytning til Norge menes
- alle norsk statsborgere, både de som er bosatt i Norge og de som har flyttet fra Norge.
- alle utenlandske statsborgere som er bosatt i Norge
Original vigselsattest
Vigselsattesten må være i original, påført stempel og signatur, og sendes inn per post. Vi godtar ikke elektroniske attester.
The supporting documents must be in English or a Nordic language. If they're in another language, they must be translated.
-
- If the translation is done in Norway, it must be translated by a state-authorised translator.
- If the translation is done abroad, the translation must also be stamped with an apostille or be legalised.
You must send the original document and translation together.
Valid supporting documents from different countries
There are wide variations in what is considered valid documentation when you have married abroad. This depends on which country you were married in.
For a marriage entered into in a Nordic country
You must send us the original marriage certificate.
For a marriage entered into in one of these countries
- Africa: Burkina Faso, Burundi, Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Mali, Nigeria, Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Uganda, and Zimbabwe
- Asia: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Iraq, Myanmar (Burma), Pakistan, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Syria, Vietnam, and Yemen.
- Europe: Kosovo
Documents from these countries will rarely be sufficient proof to register a marriage in the National Population Register, as they have low credibility. This applies even if the certificate has an apostille or has been legalised.
Exceptions may be made if the Directorate of Immigration (UDI) has accepted the marriage in connection with a family reunification case.
For a marriage entered into in other countries
The certificates must be original and have an apostille or be legalised by the country's foreign ministry.
If the certificates are legalised, the legalisation must be confirmed by a Norwegian foreign mission in the issuing country.
Du må sende erklæringen og vigselsattesten per post
Send til
Skatteetaten
Postboks 9200 Grønland

Vi returnerer vigselsattesten til deg som rekommandert post.
When the marriage has been approved
When the marriage has been approved in Norway, it will be registered in the National Population Register, and we will send you an overview of the registered information. When you log in, you will be able to view the name and date of birth of your spouse, and that your marital status has changed.
