What is the difference between logging in with ID-porten and with e-mail?


If you log in using ID-porten, you will get access to more functionality than if you log in with email.

Functionality available to everyone:

  • View applications you have started, submitted, or that have been processed
  • Submit a new application (via udi.no)
  • Send documents
  • Book an appointment
  • Pay the application fee
  • See which documents you need to bring to your appointment

Functionality only available with ID-porten:

  • See your contact information registered with UDI
  • See information about your residence and whether you have the right to work in Norway
  • Download a PDF confirming your legal residence and right to work
  • See information about your children’s residence
  • Download a PDF confirming your children’s legal residence

We recommend logging in with ID-porten if you can. This allows you to use My page for yourself and your children under 18.

If you are using My page to apply on behalf of someone else (not yourself or your children), we recommend logging in with email and password. Never share your electronic ID with others.
