Want to apply Citizenship

Different rules for applying for Norwegian citizenship apply to people with residence permits in Norway, people who have a residence card for family members of EU/EEA nationals, Nordic nationals and people who have previously been Norwegian citizens.
Informasjon

The applicant is the person who wishes to become a Norwegian citizen.

If you are a citizen of two or more countries, and one of them is an EU/EEA country, please choose this country. 

Norwegian law allows dual citizenship. There is no separate application form for dual citizenship. When you apply for Norwegian citizenship, you do not need to notify UDI that you want to keep your previous citizenship.

Please note that to have dual citizenship, this must also be allowed by the other country where you hold citizenship. You must therefore check which rules apply in the country of which you are currently a citizen. Check for more information on the website of the country's authorities or ask at an embassy.
