Residence permits for children who are born in Norway


When a child of foreign parents is born in Norway, the parents must apply for a residence permit, register the child as an EU/EEA national or apply for a residence card for family members of EU/EEA nationals. Apply as soon as possible after the birth.

Please choose the alternative which describes the mother.

If the mother does not have parental responsibility for the child, and is not a Norwegian citizen, please choose “does not have parental responsibility for the child”

Here you can find information about one or more options for your child:

The registration scheme for EU/EEA nationals and applications for a residence card for family members of EU/EEA nationals 

Because one or both parents are citizen of an EU/EEA country, you do not need to apply for a residence permit, but you must register the child with the police or apply for a residency card for the child. This applies also if the child is born in Norway and has a Norwegian personal number. 

There is no deadline for registering your child/applying for a residency card for children under the EU/EEU regulations. UDI reccomends that you register your child as soon as they have a passport.
