Apostille for extracts from Norway
Norway acceded to the The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents on 30 May 1983.
Therefore, the documents issued in Norway are subject to a simplified apostilling procedure, thus the documents gain full legal value in Convention member states after notarised translation.
Apostilling usually takes about two weeks.
In addition, you can order notarised translation from Norwegian.
