  • How to register

  • Required documents

    Make sure that you have the required documents listed om the Norwegian Directorate of Immigrations (UDI) website. 

    We recommend that you bring copies with you from home. 

    Make sure that the documents are valid for your complete stay, and that they are legible. If the copies are not legible or valid for the entire duration of your stay, the police will reject your application.

  • Where do I hand in the documents?

    You will need to show up physically to hand in your documents. Where you are supposed to hand them in, depends on where you live. Book an appointment through the application portal (udi.no). If you live in Oslo, you book an appointment with the Service Center for Foreign Workers. If you live at Åråsen/Kjeller/Lillestrøm, you book an appointment with the Nedre Romerike Police Foreign Section. The documents should be handed in to the relevant authorities. Please follow the instructions from the police if the procedure changes.

    If there are no available appointments, book the next available appointment. We recommend that you check the portal regularly to see if there are new appointments available.

  • After the registration is complete

    The police issue a Registration Certificate once you have registered. The police will send you the Registration Certificate by post once it is has been processed. Make sure you registered the correct address. If the certificate is sent to OsloMet, we will notify you.
