Form RF-1454/RF-1508

Change your postal address

You can add or change a postal address if you want post from the public sector to be sent there instead of your address registered with the National Population Register. This also applies even if you live abroad. You cannot call us in order to change your postal address.

If you’re moving from your address registered with the National Population Register, you must submit a Change of address notification.

National identity number or D number

There are different forms depending on whether you have a Norwegian national identity number or a D number, so choose the one that’s relevant to you.

If you’re moving from your address registered with the National Population Register, you must submit a Change of address notification

Submitting on paper

You can also send us a paper notification of the new or changed postal address. Remember to enclose a copy of valid identification. Valid identification is an ID card showing your date of birth, name, signature and a photograph. Do not send us a copy of your bank card as it contains sensitive information.

If you have a D number, you can:

  • register or change your residential address in Norway
  • register your postal address in Norway
  • register your postal address in your home country

You can also choose which of these addresses you want your mail sent to.

If you live in Norway, it’s important that you notify the Norwegian Tax Administration of the address where you want your mail to be sent.

If you’re moving from Norway

You must also report a change of postal address if you’ve left Norway and you have a new address abroad.

Many public agencies and private businesses use the address information found in the National Population Register to contact you.

For example, if you’ve paid too much tax and have left Norway, we need to know where we can contact you in order to refund your overpaid tax.

Submitting on paper

You can also send us a paper notification of the new or changed postal address. Remember to enclose a copy of valid identification. By valid identification, we mean an ID card showing your date of birth, name, signature and a photo. Do not send us a copy of your bank card as it contains sensitive information.

You may submit a change of postal address for

  • your spouse
  • your cohabiting partner with joint children
  • your children over the age of 18

This applies if you live at the same address, and you change your postal address at the same time.

You may also submit a change of postal address for

  • children you have parental responsibility for
  • person(s) you are the appointed guardian for

This is how you do it – in this order:

  1. Log in to the service with your own national identity number and your own electronic ID.
  2. If you do not live with the child/children or the one(s) you are a guardian for, you must add the national identity number and last name of this/these person(s).
  3. Delete yourself and other household members who are not changing their postal address.
  4. Change the postal address.

C/O means “care of”. Use it if your name is not on the postbox the post has been addressed to. You then state the name of the “owner” of the postbox, which could be the name of a person or an enterprise.

C/O is generally used when the recipient

  • does not have a fixed postal address
  • is visiting someone
  • lives in a place with no regular postal delivery service

C/O is generally written in front of the name of the “owner” of the postbox, but after the name of the recipient:

Ola Nordman – name of recipient
C/O Pat Post – name of the “owner” of the postbox
Storgata 61 – street name and house number
0364 Oslo – postal code and postal town
