Other persons who can be given an exemption to the requirement of submitting a passport


If you come from a country where it is not possible for Norwegian authorities to confirm whether the information in your passport is correct, you may in some cases be given an exemption to the requirement of submitting a passport.

You must belong to one of these groups:

  • If you were under 14 years old when you were given your first residence permit, you can be granted an exemption to the requirement of submitting a passport. You must have done everything possible to substantiate your identity.
  • If you were 14, 15 or 16 years old when you were given your first residence permit, you can be given an exemption to the requirement of submitting a passport. You must have been living in Norway with a residence permit for ten years. You must have done everything possible to substantiate your identity.
