Requirements for documents from other countries than Norway

You must bring the original documents and your passport. If you apply from Norway, you
must present the original documents and your passport. If you apply from abroad, you
must submit the original documents and your passport. These documents will be
checked by the embassy and will be returned to you at the same place as you submitted
the application.

authority. You can contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or equivalent in your home
country to get information about how to get your documents legalised. No legalisation of
