    Notarised Passport Copy for a Norwegian D-Number (D-nummer)

    A D-number (D-nummer) is a temporary Norwegian identification number issued to people who need to be identified in Norway without being registered as residents — typically for work, taxation, property or company matters. Applications are handled through Skatteetaten, the Norwegian Tax Administration, or via Kartverket, and applicants are normally required to submit a certified copy of their passport or national ID: a colour copy of both sides, signed, stamped and dated by an approved third party such as a Notary Public, and usually not older than three months. That is exactly the certified-copy notarisation NotaryDirect coordinates remotely, so you do not need to travel to an office to get the copy certified.

    How NotaryDirect handles this

    NotaryDirect coordinates the full process remotely via video meeting with a Swedish Notary Public. The notarisation and, where applicable, the apostille are completed the same day. No office visit and no travel required.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Notarisation is the act of a notary public verifying identity, witnessing a signature, or certifying a copy as authentic. An apostille is a separate certificate issued afterward that confirms the notarisation itself is valid for use in another Hague Convention country.

    An apostille is a simplified, single-step certification used between countries that are both members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Legalisation is a more complex, multi-step process, typically involving notarisation, government departments, and embassy or consular authentication, required when the destination country is not a Hague Convention member.

    You can check the official Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) status table, which lists every contracting party to the Apostille Convention and the date it took effect for that country. This is the authoritative source for confirming Hague Convention membership. See HCCH status table.

    No. Foreign authority documents must first be notarised as a certified copy before an apostille can be issued. Civil documents such as powers of attorney or passport copies follow the same rule: notarisation first, then apostille.

    Apostilles can be issued in German, Spanish, Swedish and English. Notarisation can be carried out in Spanish, Swedish and English — German is not available for notarisation.

    There are very few restrictions on what can be notarised or apostilled. Common examples include powers of attorney, corporate documents such as certificates of registration and board resolutions, educational documents such as diplomas and degree certificates, civil status documents such as marriage, divorce and death certificates, and wills. These are examples rather than a complete list.
