Change of address in Norway

Address in Norway

In Norway, we generally distinguish many types of addresses that have different meanings:

• Postadresse – this is the postal address. Correspondence to you should be sent to this address. This could be a post office box address. You don't have to stay in this place. You can also register an address abroad.
• Oppholdsadresse – this is the address of residence. It applies to people who have registered their temporary stay in Norway and obtained a D-number. You should have a physical presence at this address and it should be your primary residence. This is usually a Norwegian address.
• Bostedsadresse – this is the registered address. It is Norwegian if you have reported moving to Norway and obtained a permanent personal number. You should be physically available at this address and it should be your primary residence. If you registered in Norway and did not check out, it will be a Norwegian address.

You should update your addresses so that offices know where to send you correspondence.
