Requirements for documents from the country you have chosen:

• The original documents must carry an apostille stamp. You can find information on which office you need to visit to get your documents legalised in this list (external website). It is not necessary to have an apostille stamp on your passport.
• If your documents are in a different language than Norwegian or English, they also have to be translated into Norwegian or English by an authorised/certified translator. It must be stated on the translation who translated the document and when.

When you are handing in documents

• you must show all the documents in their original form, and your passport.
• you must also bring copies of all the documents. If you hand in your application to the police in Norway you do not need to have the copies stamped. If you hand in your application abroad, the copies must be stamped by the authorities in your country, or by a notarius publicus.
