Norwegian Tax Deduction Card — The withholding card almost everyone working in Norway must hold — and it requires a D number or national identity number first.
Checked against the official page on 2026-09-23
How to file
1. Get the identification number first — a tax deduction card requires a D number or a Norwegian national identity number
2. Apply as a foreign employee through the Tax Administration
3. Provide the required identification documents; an ID check is part of the process
4. Check whether the PAYE scheme for foreign workers applies to you rather than the ordinary card
5. After issue, you can see which employers have retrieved your card, and request an amendment if the card is wrong
6. If your D number has gone inactive, follow the Tax Administration’s separate route for that case
