Form RF-1340

Application to use a foreign-registered vehicle in Norway

You should allow at least 14 days for your application to be processed.

This form can no longer be used for demonstrating a foreign-registered vehicle

Norwegian Customs is now in charge of processing applications relating to demonstration vehicles. These are foreign-registered vehicles that are temporarily imported to Norway either for demonstration or because they have special equipment used for the demonstration of goods. If you want permission to import and use this kind of vehicle in Norway, you must contakt Norwegian Customs.

You can only use this form if you intend to:

• Demonstrate a foreign-registered vehicle.
  You can apply to import and temporarily use a foreign-registered vehicle which is to be used as a demonstrator or which has been specially modified for demonstrating products. As documentation, you could attach a copy of the assignment confirmation and the implementation plan, information concerning collaboration partners and responsibility for the assignment.
• Using a foreign-registered vehicle upon moving to Norway
  If you intend to move to Norway permanently, you can apply for a temporary driving permit to use a foreign-registered vehicle when you move. The driving permit may be issued for up to 14 days. You must provide proof of moving by producing a relocation certificate, employment contract or other relevant documentation. You must apply before the vehicle is imported into Norway.
