Will my child be born a Norwegian citizen if I am Norwegian?
Your child will be a Norwegian citizen by birth, if one of the parents is a Norwegian citizen at the time of the birth. Visit our Norwegian by birth?-page for more information.
If the child is born in Norway, Norwegian citizenship will automatically be registered in the National Population Register (by Skatteetaten) – as long as one of the parents was Norwegian before the child was born.
If the child is born abroad, you must apply for a Norwegian national identity number (external website). If you are going to continue living abroad, the passport authorities will request that the child is issued a Norwegian national identity number be before being issued a Norwegian passport.
