Some payment services can be unstable

As of 1 January 2026, new debt collection rules will take effect and several collection authorities will be merged into one: the Collection Authority. We are therefore rebuilding and updating skatteetaten.no for a few days from and including 1 January.

Utbetaling av barnebidrag og annet underholdsbidrag

Du vil ikke motta barnebidraget før vi har mottatt innbetalingen fra den som skal betale.

Utbetalingsdatoen vil variere

Betalingsfrist for bidragspliktig er den 25. hver måned, men vi utbetaler vanligvis fortløpende til deg når pengene kommer inn.
Tidspunktet for utbetaling til bidragsmottaker er avhengig av

  • datoen den bidragspliktige betaler
  • antall helgedager, helligdager og så videre mellom inn- og utbetaling
  • tiden det tar for banken din å overføre til kontoen din

We need the correct account number

When we pay you, we use the account number you’ve registered with Nav.

If you’ve not registered your account number with Nav, payment will take longer.

 

  • If you do not have a Norwegian account, we can pay to an account abroad. In this case, we need the following signed documentation from you:

    • name
    • address
    • IBAN*/bank account
    • SWIFT number/BIC address*
    • bank code* 

     

* gjelder enkelte land

Er du usikker på om bankkontoen din har IBAN-nummer, SWIFT-nummer/BIC-adresse eller bankkode, kan du kontakte banken din.

Detailed information about the payment

If you want detailed information about the payment of the maintenance payment, you must log in to your online bank. You’ll not be able to see these details in your phone bank app. The payment will be registered as being from the Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten).

Annual statement for maintenance recipients

You’ll receive an annual statement within 15 February that shows all maintenance payments for the previous year. Maintenance payment is not taxable income.

The annual statement for paid child maintenance will be sent in the child’s name.
