Reference number

Most UDI applications get an individual reference number. You can find your application's reference number in the confirmation email from us, or on My applications on My page.

This page tells you where to find the reference number for your application. If you are asked to provide a "receipt number" or "order number", you are to use this reference number.

If you are asked to provide a DUF number, this is a different number. Visit our page about DUF numbers to read more about the DUF number and where to find it. 

Exception: Applications for assisted return and repatriation have no reference numbers. 

 

1. Reference number in the confirmation email from UDI

When you have submitted a digital form to UDI, you will receive a confirmation email from us. The reference number is written at the top of the email. 

Example: 

“Confirmation that the UDI has received your...
Reference number for your order: oslopd-3141-FAM-2023060xxxxxxx-A315xxxxx"
