Can I get a national identity number?
Please note that not all the content on this page is available in English.
Pursuant to the Immigration Act, Section 74, you are not considered resident in Norway if you have a temporary, restricted residence permit. Therefore, you do not have the right to be issued a Norwegian national identity number (fødselsnummer). You will receive a temporary identification number, known as a D number, from the Norwegian Tax Administration.
