Personal Number (Norwegian ID-number)
22/09/2009 //
If you have ever been domiciled in Norway since 1964, you hold a personal number. If you were born abroad or have never been a resident in Norway since 1964, you must apply to obtain a personal number.
Norwegian children born abroad need a Personal Number before a Norwegian passport can be issued. Application for a Personal number must be sent through the Norwegian Embassy. The birth certificate of the child (in Norwegian, English, French or German) must be legalized by the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Embassy will verify copy of the certificate and send it together with the application and copy of the parents' passport to the Population Register (Personregisteret) in Norway.
