I lost my Norwegian travel document while abroad. What do I have to do to travel back to Norway?


If you have lost your travel document while travelling, you should contact the nearest Norwegian Foreign Service mission and apply for a laissez-passer for entry to Norway. Please note, you must have a valid residence permit in Norway to be issued a laissez-passer. When you return to Norway, you must hand in the laissez-passer to your local police. To obtain a new travel document, you need to submit an application for renewal with a separate attachment in which you explain the loss of your travel document.

If you have a permanent residence permit which has expired, or if your residence card was lost or stolen, you will also need to apply for an entry visa (D visa). You are to submit your application to the Norwegian Foreign Service mission serving the area where you are (external website)
