Common mistakes to avoid
✗ Confusing the Enhetsregisteret with the Foretaksregisteret.
✓ Small associations may only be in the Enhetsregisteret; commercial businesses must be in the Foretaksregisteret.
✗ Using outdated organization numbers from historical documents.
✓ Always verify the status on brreg.no as organizations may change legal form and receive a new number.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AS?▾
AS (Aksjeselskap) is the Norwegian private limited company, similar to a Ltd. It requires NOK 30,000 minimum share capital. AS is the most common entity for Norwegian businesses with limited liability.
Is Norwegian company data free?▾
Yes. Norway's Brønnøysund Register Centre provides an open, free API (data.brreg.no) with full access to basic company data including name, address, industry, employees, and registration details. This is one of the most open company data systems globally.
What is a NUF?▾
NUF (Norsk avdeling av utenlandsk foretak) is a Norwegian branch of a foreign company. It allows foreign companies to operate in Norway without incorporating a Norwegian entity. NUFs were historically popular for avoiding the AS capital requirement.
How does Norway's oil economy affect business data?▾
Norway's petroleum sector generates significant government and private wealth. Many Norwegian companies are connected to oil/gas services, offshore technology, and maritime industries. The Sovereign Wealth Fund (Norges Bank Investment Management) owns stakes in 9,000+ companies globally.
How do I search for a company in Norway by name?▾
Type the company name into the search box above. Results come from the Brønnøysund and show the registered name, Org.nr number, status and registered address. Partial names work — searching "acme" returns every registered entity whose name starts with it.
Is the Norway company register free to search?▾
Yes. Searching by company name or Org.nr number is free here and on the official Norway register — no account or payment is required for a basic lookup. Certified extracts and filed documents may carry a fee on the official register.
Can I search Norway companies by registration number?▾
Yes. Enter the Org.nr number instead of the name and the lookup resolves it directly to the matching record, which is the fastest way to confirm an identifier printed on an invoice or contract.
How do I check whether a company is registered in Norway?▾
Search the name or Org.nr number above. If the business is on the Brønnøysund, the record appears with its registered name and identifier. If nothing is returned, the name as spelled is not on the register — try a partial name or the number printed on the invoice or contract before concluding the business is unregistered.
How can I tell if a Norway company is still active?▾
Each record carries the status the Brønnøysund publishes for that entity. Registration status is a factual register field, not a judgement about the business — for ongoing certainty you can watch a record and be emailed when its registered details change.
How do I find a company's Org.nr number?▾
Search the company name above. Each result shows its Org.nr number alongside the registered name, status and address, sourced from the Brønnøysund.
