Passports and identification

Norwegian passport is the only valid identification for Norwegian citizens. In order to travel outside the Nordic countries, you must have a valid Norwegian passport, as well as on trips to countries that are part of the Schengen Agreement. You need your passport as identification at accommodation, banking services and similar. Airline companies require valid passport on international flights, some even on flights within the Nordic countries. In the Schengen area, passport as a rule must be valid three months after returning to Norway.

If you are traveling to Norway from a Schengen country, you must bring with you an official document that establishes your identity. It is therefore recommended that you bring your passport. For all other nationalities a passport is always necessary in order to enter Norway.
