Want to apply Travel document for emergencies (laissez-passer)
If your travel document (passport) is lost or stolen while you are travelling abroad, you can apply for a temporary travel document to return to Norway. This is a kind of emergency passport.
The travel document that you can be issued in such cases is called a 'laissez-passer'. This is a document (a sheet of paper) that you can use to cross borders in order to get home to Norway. It does not look like a passport.

- You must hold a valid residence permit in Norway.
