Norwegian national ID numbers 

Printer-friendly version 

In Norway, you must have a Norwegian ID number. You must use this number to identify yourself to public authorities and to open a Norwegian bank account. People resident in Norway will be given a national ID number. Foreigners who intend to stay in Norway for less than six months will be given a D number. 

In order to obtain either a national ID number or a D number, you must do the following: 

    * If you are from another Nordic country, you must apply for a tax deduction card and where appropriate report a move to Norway . 
    * If you are from an EU/EEA country and intend to stay in Norway for more than three months, you must register with the police. You must also apply for a tax deduction card and where appropriate report a move to Norway . 
    * If you are from a non-EU/EEA country, you must apply for a residence permit and report to a police station to obtain a residence card. You must also apply for a tax deduction card and where appropriate report a move to Norway . 

Your national ID number or D number will be shown on your tax deduction card. What is the difference between a national ID number and a D number? 

    * Everyone who is resident in Norway will be allocated a national ID number, which they will keep for life. National ID numbers consist of 11 digits, of which the first six digits indicate the person's date of birth. 
    * Foreigners who come to work in Norway for less than six months will not be given a national ID number. Instead, they will be allocated a D number. 
    * If you intend to stay in Norway for more than six months, you must apply for a national ID number by reporting a move to Norway. If you have previously been allocated a D number, you must subsequently only use your national ID number. 
    * You must use your national ID number or D number every time you come to Norway to work. You must also state this number when you request a new tax deduction card. 

Opening a bank account in Norway 

    * You must have a Norwegian national ID number or D number to open a bank account in Norway. Banks may order a D number in some cases. 
    * You should have a bank account in Norway that your employer can pay your salary into, and that the Norwegian Tax Administration can transfer any excess tax deductions into where applicable.
