Mailbox
Be sure to mark your name on your mailbox so that important documents will get to you.
Digipost
Downloading the Digipost app as soon as you receive your Norwegian personal identity number is recommended. Digipost is one of Norway’s official secure digital mailboxes and is used by thousands of public authorities and private organisations to send important documents.
Some of the key benefits include:
- Receive important official mail digitally from organisations such as the tax authorities, municipalities, healthcare providers, banks, insurance companies and other public agencies.
- Never miss important deadlines. You’ll receive notifications whenever you have new mail, helping you stay on top of tax notices, official decisions, invoices and other important correspondence.
- Access your documents anytime, anywhere from your phone, tablet or computer. All your important letters are securely stored in one place.
- Keep sensitive information secure. Unlike ordinary email, all messages in Digipost are encrypted and sent only by verified organisations, making it a safe way to receive confidential documents.
- Create a personal digital archive by uploading and storing documents such as passports, diplomas, contracts and insurance papers alongside the mail you receive.
- Reduce paper clutter while ensuring your important documents are always easy to find.
For anyone moving to Norway, Digipost quickly becomes an essential tool for managing official communication. It helps ensure you don’t overlook important messages while providing a secure, convenient place to store your most important documents.
