Application procedures :
** All passports for adults and children over 12 must be applied for in person at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in London.
** In order to apply for a Norwegian passport you need to have a Norwegian personal number (ID number).
** If you do not have a personal number, you must apply for this before lodging a passport application.

** Children under the age of 12 must meet in person either at the Embassy in London or at one of the Norwegian Consulates in the UK to apply for a passport.
** All applicants under 18 must be accompanied by one of the parents, and both parents must give their consent by signing the application form.
** Please note: If you arrive without an appointment, you will not be seen.
** All appointments must be booked online.
** Also please note that from 1 August 2015 it will no longer be possible to pay by cash or cheque.

Please note :
** The Embassy receives a high number of passport applications.
** As a result, you may need to wait a long time for an appointment.
** Please ensure that you book an appointment for passport renewal at least three months before your passport is due to expire.

** Appointments can be changed or cancelled online. The Embassy does not have a waiting list for applicants who want an earlier appointment.
** However, new appointements may become available due to cancellations and we urge applicants to check the booking system regularly to ensure that they get the earliest appointment available.
** It is possible to apply for a passport when in Norway or at Norwegian foreign mission in other countries if more convenient.

Validity of passports :
Adults: 10 years
Children under 5: 2 years
Children 5-10: 3 years
Children 10-16 5 years

Second passport :
** A person in possession of an ordinary passport may be issued a second passport when there is a documented need for it, e.g. in connection with extensive business travel that requires frequent visa applications.
** A letter from the employer must be submitted with the application.
** The second passport will have a maximum validity of two years.

Processing time :
** The processing time is generally 7-10 working days however it may take longer during high season.

Passport lost or stolen :
** Loss of passport should be reported to the local police (i.e. British police).

** When reporting it lost at the Norwegian Embassy, you should bring Norwegian identification (driver’s licence, Norwegian credit/debit card with photo and signature, Norwegian birth certificate, etc.) together with a completed ‘Notification of loss of passport’ form.
** Please note that if your passport has ever been reported lost or stolen, it is no longer a valid travel document.
** If you find a passport that has been reported lost, you must hand it in to the Embassy or the police in Norway.

Emergency passport :
** In case of an emergency, a temporary handwritten emergency passport may be issued.
** An emergency passport is only valid for one return journey and must be surrendered at the end of the trip.
** The fee is the same as for a regular passport. A travel document can be issued for a return trip to Norway (Ryanair does not accept travel documents).

** Please note you must research whether your intended destination accepts handwritten (non-biometric) passports since not all countries do.
** Please email the consulate (london.konsulat@mfa.no) to enquire about emergency travel documents/emergency passports.

** Please include the full name, date of birth and flight details for all the persons wishing to travel.
** Emergency passports may also be issued at the Honorary Consulate General in Edinburgh and the Honorary Consulate in Newcastle.
