      Copy the registration number

      The registration number is displayed at the top of the entity profile. It is the authoritative ID for cross-referencing.

      Confirm it's the right entity

      Check the registered address and incorporation date to be sure you have the correct legal entity, especially for groups with similarly named subsidiaries.

    Norway: choosing and checking the right record

    Choose the correct source
    Start with Brønnøysundregistrene and the organisation number. Distinguish the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities from the Register of Business Enterprises; registration in one does not make every service or document interchangeable.
    Confirm the entity
    Compare the nine-digit organisation number and legal name. A sub-entity or establishment can have a different number from its parent. Check which record is the contracting entity and keep VAT-registration information separate.

    Check current access and document options on the official Brønnøysundregistrene site. For search limitations and missing-result guidance, see the Norway registry guide.

    Where do I find a Norway company's registration number?

    Every registered Norway entity has a unique registration number issued at incorporation. It appears on invoices, contracts, the company's website footer (often in a "legal" section), and prominently on its Brønnøysundregistrene record.

    Is a Norway registration number the same as a VAT number?

    No. The registration number is the identifier issued by the Brønnøysundregistrene when the company was formed. The VAT number is a separate tax identifier issued (only if the company is VAT-registered) by the national tax authority. Many small companies have a registration number but no VAT number.
