D-number: Your key to the Norwegian business register
DKNO Partners advises you and your business
What is a D-number?
A D-number functions as a Norwegian national identity number (CPR-number) for individuals who are not permanent residents of Norway. It is often required in connection with the company's start-up and financial activities. Obtaining a D-number is crucial for registering your company in the Brønnøysund Register Centre, opening a Norwegian bank account, or communicating with the Norwegian authorities.
Who needs a D-number?
A D-number is necessary for foreign business owners or managers who need to register a company in Norway. It is also used to report VAT and taxes and to open a bank account.
How to obtain a D-number?
A D-number is applied for through the Norwegian business register, a Norwegian bank, or the Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten). The application requires valid identification and other relevant documents.
How long is a D-number valid?
A D-number is permanent but becomes inactive if not used for five years. Regular activities such as tax reporting keep it active.
How to get a D-number: A simple guide
- Application: Submit your application via a Norwegian authority, bank, or business registry.
- Documentation: Ensure you attach valid identification and other relevant documents.
- Approval: Processing time varies, but it typically takes 2-4 weeks to have the D-number approved.
