Guideline to Coordinated register notification – simplified form for associations
Last updated: 6 January 2025.
How to fill in the form
1.1 The association’s complete name
The field must always be filled in.
Enter the association’s complete name and organisation number. If it applies to new registration, the Central Coordinating Register of Legal Entities will assign the organisation number. If changing the association’s name, you must enter the registered name in field 1.1.
1.2 Any new name of the association
This field is only to be filled in if the association is reporting a change of the registered name. If the association is registered in the Register of Business Enterprises, a change of the business name will be charged with a fee.
A notification can be made about the following matters:
2.1 Registration in the Central Coordinated Register for Legal Entities
You tick here only if the association is not previously registered.
2.2 Registration in the Register of Business Enterprises
You tick here only if the association is to be registered with the Register of Business Enterprise.
Registration in the Register of Business Enterprises is subject to a fee.
2.3 Changes/new information
If the association previously is registered in one of the registers and wishes to report changes in any of the registered information or have additional information, tick in “Changes/new information”.
Always fill in the association’s organisation number and registered name in field 1.1. In the rest of the form you only need to fill in the fields that apply for the change.
If you want registered information to be deleted without replacing it with new information, please mark “to be omitted” in the appropriate field.
2.4 Striking off from the Register of Business Enterprises
If you want to close down the association only from the Register of Business Enterprises, please tick here. Associations shall be struck off from this register if they no longer are running business activities. That is, associations that have previously run business activity and who have terminated this kind of activity.
2.5 Closure from all registers
If you want to close down the association in the Central Coordinated Register for Legal Entities, it will also be closed in all the affiliated registers, including the Register of Non-Profit Organisations and the Register of Business Enterprises.
Does the association have or expect to have employees, or do you intend to engage others who will receive a salary or remuneration?
Here you state the association’s business/visiting address. This means the street address where the association is located, or location address in smaller places. Associations undertaking business must have a business/visiting address.
Here you state the association’s postal address. The correct address is important for the mail to arrive quickly and efficiently. Read more about this at Posten Norge.
The submitter will be used as the addressee for all types of feedback on the notification, which means that confirmation and other letters, register printouts and the like will be sent to the submitter. This person is also responsible for paying fees to the Register of Business Enterprises.
If the field for the submitter has not been filled in, feedbacks, fee requests and the like will be sent directly to the association’s address. If the submitter has previously been assigned a customer number by the Brønnøysund Register Centre, this must be stated.
Date of foundation
State the starting date of the association.
If you do not have exact information about the date of foundation, please enter the foundation year.
Information about the activity of the association is the basis for assigning an industrial code.
The industrial code is assigned pursuant to Standard Industrial Classification (SN2007). The industrial code is used to prepare statistics describing the Norwegian business and industry/ labour market according to business/trade.
Give as accurate a description as possible of the activities carried out or to be carried out.
Examples can be marching band, sports team and so on.
If the association is operating in several activities, you must specify each of them in order, after for example, time and scope.
If the association does not have a general manager/business manager, please state a contact person.
By general manager/business manager we mean the person who has the administrative management of the association and who has the authority to represent the association in conditions that fall within the day-to-day management.
If the business manager is a legal person, you also need to state a contact person.
National identity number/d-number/organisation number
Inidividuals: Make sure that the national identity number is entered in addition to the person’s name and residence
Legal persons: State the organisation number and the business address
Foreign persons: Persons without a Norwegian national identity number must state a d-number.
Written communication to the enterprise will be in the selected form of the Norwegian language (there are two official Norwegian languages, nynorsk and bokmål).
This field should only be used if the association is to be registered in the Register of Business Enterprises.
Enter the date when the articles of association was set or changed.
The articles of association must always be enclosed by initial registration. A change must be accompanied by an updated copy.
Registration in the Central Coordinated Register for Legal Entities
If the association has a board, all members, with the exception of the deputies, must be listed here.
Registration in the Register of Business Enterprises
The association must state a board, see section 3-6 of the Business Enterprise Registration Act. Enter the whole board (chair, deputy chair, board members and deputy board members) in the form.
You need to state the members’ full national identity number, name and address regardless of which register the association is to register in. Persons without a Norwegian national identity number must enter a d-number.
To confirm that those listed in the form have been elected, you must attach minutes showing the election. All the board members must be stated both by initial registration and changes.
If someone has been granted such a power of attorney, you must state this here. This assignment must be documentable and added to the notification. The power of attorney may be stated in the association’s statutes or as a separate minutes. Make sure that the reported signature right is in accordance with this.
That someone has a signature right for the association, means that they are authorised to act and sign on behalf of the association, for example, by raising loans, selling real estate or similar important decisions. If someone has been granted such a power of attorney, you must state this here.
The right to sign can either be assigned to role holders or named persons. If none of the standard options in the form fits, you can enter the signature agreement under “Other signature agreement”.
If the signature rights has been assigned to named persons, you must enter their name, address and national identity number/d-number in the field «Other signature agreement».
If several persons have the right to sign, it must be clear whether they hold this right separately or jointly. In case of changes of the registered information about signature rights, all those who are empowered to sign after the change, must be stated.
If someone has been granted a power of procuration, you must state it here. This assignment must be documentable and added to the notification. The authorisation may be stated in the statute’s articles or as a separate document. Make sure that the reported information about power of procuration is in accordance with this.
Power of procuration comprises matters relating to the day-to-day operations of the association. It is an authorisation to act and sign on behalf of the association. Power of procuration is usually used by a few business associations, and is a more limited authorisation than a signature right.
Power of procuration can either be assigned to role holders or named persons. If none of the standard options in the form fits, you can enter the power of procuration under “Other agreement relating to power of procuration”.
If the power of procuration has been assigned to named persons, you must enter their name, address and national identity number/d-number in the field “Other agreement relating to power of procuration”.
If several persons have been granted power of procuration, it must be clear whether they hold this right separately or jointly. In case of changes of the registered information about the power of procuration, all persons who are empowered to have the power of procuration after the change, must be stated.
If the association has an auditor approved by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway and registered in the Register of Auditors, information about this must be reported here.
As far as registration in the Register of Business Enterprises is concerned, the association has an auditing obligation if the operating revenues of the total business exceeds NOK 5 million, and in addition either has more than 20 employees or the value of the total assets exceeds a value of NOK 20 million, cf. The Auditor Act section 2-1 and The Accounting Act section 1-2.
The auditor must confirm that he/she has taken on the assignment, either by signing in this field or enclose a separate declaration of acceptance.
If the association has an accountant that is approved by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway and registered in the Register of Accountants, the information about this must be reported here.
The auditor must confirm that he/she has taken on the assignment, either by signing in this field or enclose a separate declaration of acceptance.
Here you enter information that cannot be reported in the other field of the form. Add a separate sheet if there is inadequate space.
It is obligatory to register a notification address.
Only new enterprises have to register a notification address.
The notification addresses will be used by public authorities to notify the enterprise whenever important information is available in Altinn. The addresses will only be available for public authorities.
If you are going to change this information later, you have to do so in the enterprise’s profile in Altinn.
The enterprise must have at least one notification address.
The notification must be signed if it is to be approved. Those who sign the notification confirm that the information provided is correct.
The decision of who is to sign this notification is made according to where the association is to be registered. If the notification only relates to the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities or the Register of Non-Profit Organisations, it must be signed by the general manager, the business manager, the contact person or the entire board.
If the notification concerns the Register of Business Enterprises, it must be signed by a person authorised to sign or all the members of the board. Newly elected board members who have not signed the notification, must attach a declaration of acceptance, confirming that they have taken on the assignment.
