    How do I get an official company extract in Norway?

    Start with Brønnøysundregistrene at https://www.brreg.no to identify the entity and available company extract. An ordinary extract, historical filing and certified copy are different documents. Check the recipient's requirements and official access conditions before ordering. A LemReveal PDF is not a government-certified extract.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Confirm the entity first

      Search by name or registration number and confirm you have the right legal entity before paying for anything.

    2. 2

      Choose the evidence required

      Ask the recipient whether it needs an ordinary extract, historical filing, certified copy, translation or legalisation. A free summary is not automatically sufficient.

    3. 3

      Follow the official document route

      Use https://www.brreg.no to find the issuing authority or authorised service and its current fees. Check what the document actually certifies.

    4. 4

      Check the issue date

      Ask what issue date the recipient accepts; there is no universal three-month validity period. Retain the issue date, retrieval date and source.

    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.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I need a paid extract to verify a Norway company?
