Why does the church need your personal number?
The Catholic Church in Norway has experienced significant growth in recent years. There is great satisfaction with all the newly arrived Catholics who contribute a lot to the life of parishes throughout Norway. At the same time, there is no doubt that the great increase in the number of Catholics has put the possibilities of the church to the test.
Are you Catholic in Norway? Why should I register?
Many Catholics living in Norway are not registered with the Catholic Church. Registration is necessary so that the Catholic Church can receive a government subsidy in the same amount as other registered religious communities. It is also essential for the Church to have an overall picture of the number of believers, to ensure that they have a proper pastoral and liturgical service.
Take care of it yourself.
There is no international census of all Catholics in the world. Catholics moving from other countries to Norway must officially register if they wish to be members of the Catholic Church in Norway. Please note that in Norway - unlike other countries - nie they pay more tax or other fees because they are registered members of a given religious community. The public service does not keep any register that would show that a person belongs to a particular religious community.
find out who is responsible for the census in Norway.
The Diocese of Oslo is responsible for keeping a Catholic register for all three dioceses in Norway. For the Catholic Church to receive a government grant, all Catholics in Norway must register with the Church with a full 11-digit Personal Number. This also applies to those who are temporarily abroad and those who have Norwegian citizenship.
