I have already applied for Norwegian citizenship


If you received an answer to your application before 1 January 2020, it might be stated in the letter which you received from us that you must renounce your previous citizenship within one year. Because the rules changed on 1 January 2020, you do not need to do this. 

If you receive an answer to your application after 1 January 2020, we will process your application according to the new rules. We will not ask you to give up your previous citizenship. 

Please see our page about waiting times for information about when you will receive an answer to your application.
