How do I get a bank account and card
In order to open a bank account in Norway, you must have:
- a home address
- an approved ID
Forms of approved ID include:
- valid foreign passport
- valid refugee travel document
- valid immigrant's passport
The bank may ask you for additional identification or for documentation of your identity before they will create an account. This is because they need to be sure of who you are.
