5. Where do we register your personal information?

UDI registers your personal data in different registers that we are responsible for keeping:

• The database of foreign nationals (UDB) is the main personal data filing system of the immigration authorities. All information in immigration and citizenship cases is registered and stored in UDB. Foreign nationals who are registered are given a unique identification number (DUF number). There are also Norwegian nationals registered in UDB, such as family members, host families and employers.
• The Register of Foreign Nationals (Utlendingsregisteret) is a register of biometric data containing fingerprints and facial photographs of people from countries outside the EU and EEA area (see Section 100 of the Immigration Act).

We also register certain data in European information systems:

• EURODAC is a register of biometric data containing fingerprints and identity data of people from countries outside the EU and EEA area who are applying for protection or who have unlawfully crossed a national border.
• The Visa Information System (VIS) is an information system containing personal data, facial photographs and fingerprints of people from countries outside the EU and EEA area who are applying for a visitor’s visa.
• The Schengen Information System (SIS) is an information system containing information on people who are not permitted to enter and stay in the EU/EEA area, or who are wanted in connection with criminal acts. The National Criminal Investigation Service (Kripos) is responsible for the part of SIS that concerns Norway.
