Get a tax card as an EU/EEA national

Appointment for EU registration within a month of arrival: apply for a tax card at this appointment

• When finalising your EU registration at the Service Centre for Foreign Workers (sua.no), you will be directed to the tax office service desk in the same room. Bring with you the following documents:
  1. Your passport or National ID card containing a photo of you as well as indicating your citizenship and gender
  2. Your Notification of move to Norway (skatteetaten.no)
  3. A property purchase or rental contract valid for at least 6 months
     If the rental contract is older than 3 months, you must also bring confirmation from the owner that the contract is still valid.
  4. Your employment contract with UiO
     If the contract is older than 3 months, bring confirmation from your local personnel officer that the contract is still valid.
  5. A completed application for tax deduction card (RF1209) (pdf) (skatteetaten.no)
• Approximately two weeks after you have submitted the application, you will receive a letter from the tax office. The letter contains a Norwegian ID number, either a permanent or temporary (D number). Submit this number to your local personnel officer for registration in UiO's payroll and personnel system. This will enable UiO to access your tax card electronically.
