Before you contact us

• You can find
  information on the application process here
  .
• If you have been asked to
  upload further information or want to check the status of your application, you can do that here
  .

If you have a digital mailbox (Digipost, Altinn or e-Boks), we will send the police certificate of conduct rejection letter there.

Check the status of your application here to see where the certificate/letter has been sent.

If you do not have a digital mailbox or have reserved yourself from receiving decisions from public authorities, we will send the police certificate by post to the address you have provided in the application. This usually takes up to 14 days. The police certificate of conduct or other personal information will only be sent by post or digital post, not by e-mail. Application process Our expected processing time is normally 14 days, calculated from the time we have received all the necessary documentation in the case. The processing time can be longer during time periods when we receive a high number of applications.  We cannot tell if you have sent in all the necessary documentation before we have started to process your case. We will contact you by letter to your digital mailbox or by post if we need further information to process your application.

Be aware of scam attempts using the police’s phone number We want to inform you that our switchboard number, 40 40 15 50, has been misused for scams through "spoofing." The police will never contact you using this number. Please be cautious and do not provide codes, passwords, or similar information over the phone. It is still completely safe to call us.
