Hi, everyone! If you’re someone who moved to Norway to marry your Norwegian partner, you might be able to help me and my partner answer some questions about the prøvingsattest/certificate of no impediment to marriage/Form Q-0150.

When sending in your documentation of age/name to skatteetaten, what were the exact steps you took? We’ve called Skatteetaten and the Norwegian Embassy, but can’t get a clear answer. The information on Skatteetaten’s website is slightly vague. For those of you that went through this process:

1. Do you have to send in both your apostilled birth certificate and a passport copy, or can it be either or?
   
2. Do you have to get your passport “certified by a Norwegian authority” in person in Norway, or do they accept just having it certified by a US notary public? Can it be done at the Norwegian Embassy in DC?
   
3. What were your personal steps for that documentation?

Thank you in advance if you’re able to help!
