When U.S. Documents Are Needed in Norway
Norway applies the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, replacing consular legalization with a single apostille issued by the state of origin. The Convention took effect for Norway on 30 May 1983, with operation commencing that same date in the status table for Contracting Parties.
Norway’s competent authorities are the County Governors, known as Statsforvalteren, and the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for specified categories, as confirmed by HCCH listings and official Norwegian government guidance. For U.S. originated documents, the apostille must be issued in the United States by the competent state office or by the federal channel where applicable before presentation in Norway.
U.S. apostilles are necessary for personal, educational, and business documents used in Norway, including birth certificates, marriage records, diplomas, professional licenses, corporate filings, and notarized affidavits. Apostille Corp helps clients get an apostille for Norway so documents are recognized and accepted efficiently without additional steps.
Get an Apostille for Norway
At Apostille Corp, we manage New York records through the NYS Department of State and extends the same standard nationwide, coordinating notarization when required, county or court certifications that may precede the apostille, and certified translations. Federal items, such as FBI background checks or IRS letters in defined cases, are routed through the U.S. Office of Authentications on the federal apostille path.
Files are carefully aligned with the issuing authority so the apostille certifies the signer’s capacity and seal in the correct jurisdiction before submission in Norway. Guidance on originals versus certified copies and state versus federal pathways helps avoid delays at Norwegian universities, banks, registries, and courts.
