Applying for protection (asylum) for children who are born in Norway
If a child who is born in Norway has parents who have applied for or been given protection (asylum), the parents can apply for protection for the child.
When a child of foreign parents is born in Norway, the parents must apply for a residence permit as soon as possible after the birth.
