Children born before September 1, 2006 became a Norwegian citizen by birth if:
If a child automatically becomes a Norwegian citizen by birth, it is not necessary to submit a notification in order to ensure that the child becomes a Norwegian citizen. However, in order for the child to get a Norwegian passport, you need to apply to the police, or an embassy/consulate if you live abroad.
Children with a Norwegian father born before September 1, 2006
If the father was Norwegian citizen when the child was born, it is not necessary to apply for Norwegian citizenship. It is sufficient to hand in a notification. If the father was dead when the child was born, it is a requirement that the father was a Norwegian citizen when he died.
If the child has a Norwegian mother, the child automatically became a Norwegian by birth.

The UDI's case processing times always vary depending on the number of applications it receives. You will find links to pages with overviews of the expected case processing times for the different situation.
Can I request that my applications is given priority?
Most applicants would like their applications to be processed faster. To ensure equal treatment, we are not able to prioritize applications, unless there are special circumstances concerning the application that must be considered.
Some applications are processed by the police or the foreign service missions. Unfortunately, the Immigration Authority cannot give any general information about their case processing times. You can ask when you submit your application. The case is normally processed more quickly if the police or a foreign service mission is processing it.
When does the case processing time begin?
The case processing times given here state how long it will take from an application is submitted to the police or foreign service mission until we make a decision. The police or foreign service mission usually sends the application to the UDI within around one week. In some cases, however, applications can remain longer with the police or the foreign service mission. The case processing times may then be longer than stated.
Prioritization of cases
To ensure that applicants are treated as fairly as possible, the Immigration Authority will only prioritize an application if there are exceptional grounds for doing so. If you think that your case is exceptional, you must contact the UDI in writing (letter or email), so that we can assess whether your application can be processed more quickly than other applications.
