The passport may also serve as proof of Norwegian citizenship and is valid for ten years. The passport shares the standardised layout of most EU countries, as Norway has implemented the EU passport regulation{{Citation needed|date=December 2017}}. The colour is burgundy-red and similar, but not identical to the design of most EU countries. Despite the fact Norway is not part of the EU, the country is a signatory of the Schengen Agreement and a member state of the European Economic Area (EEA). Consequently, Norwegian citizens generally have the same rights as EU citizens in EEA countries and are treated as EU citizens for the purposes of travel and entry into EEA countries. Physical appearance and data containedRegular Norwegian passports are burgundy in colour, with the Norway Coat of arms emblazoned in the top of the front cover. The words "NORGE", "NOREG" and "NORWAY" ("Norway" in Bokmål Norwegian (one of the two forms of Norwegian), Nynorsk Norwegian (the other form of Norwegian) and English, respectively) is inscribed below the coat of arms and the word "PASS" and "PASSPORT" emblazoned below the name of the country. The new biometric passport has the standard biometric symbol at the bottom. Identity information pageThe Norwegian passport includes the following data: {{div col|colwidth=25em}}
The information page ends with the machine-readable zone starting with "PxNOR, where x indicates the type of passport. For example, ordinary passports contain "PVNOR", where the "V" presumably means "vanlig" ("ordinary" in Norwegian.) Biometric dataThe biometric passports contain an RFID chip containing the passport's printed data in a digital format along with the photograph in a JPEG format along with a digital key to verify that the data contained is authentic and hasn't been tampered with. The European Union requires fingerprint data to be stored on the member state's passports at latest in June 2009. As an EEA member state, Norway started storing fingerprint data when applying for a new passport on 6 April 2010. [4] LanguagesThe data page/information page is printed in Norwegian and English. Until the 1990s,{{cn|date=November 2014}} the data and information pages were printed in Norwegian, French, English and German. French and German were dropped when the data was moved to just one page. New passport designThe Norwegian Police Directorate and Kripos (the national unit for combating organized and other serious crime) launched a design competition for new passports, ID-cards and travel documents. It was later announced that the winner of the competition was “The Norwegian Landscape” by Neue Design Studio, an Oslo-based graphic design company. The new passports are set to be issued in 2016. But first Neue will have to work closely with the National Police Directorate in order to combine the winning design with the necessary security measures that are required of passports. The purpose of the competition was to redesign the document with a high quality of design whilst still serving its purpose and functionality. Further, the new design will increase the security of Norwegian passports, ID-cards and travel documents. [5] In 2016 it was announced that the introduction of new passports were postponed to the middle of 2018. [6] National ID cardNational ID cards are scheduled to be released at the same time as the new series of passports.[6] Citizens holding a national identity card, which states EEA or Swiss citizenship, can not only use it as an identity document within their home country, but also as a travel document to exercise the right of free movement in the EEA and Switzerland.[7] Identity cards that do not state EEA or Swiss citizenship, including national identity cards issued to residents who are not citizens, are not valid as a travel document within the EEA and Switzerland. Identification requirementsApplication is done at special passport offices or embassies. When doing the application identification of the applicant is needed. This is done by:[8]
A person not possessing any of these identity documents must bring a person who vouches for the identity, is at least 18 years old, and has a valid Norwegian passport. Different spellings of the same nameNames containing special letters (æ, ø, å) are spelled the correct way in the non-machine-readable zone, but are mapped in the machine-readable zone, æ becoming AE, ø becoming OE, and å becoming AA. This follows the standard for machine-readable passports, which must not contain letters other than A–Z. Manufacturing defectMachine-readable Norwegian passports issued between 1999 and 2005 suffered from a manufacturing defect that could result in the identity page coming loose, thus invalidating the passport. The Norwegian passport authorities replace such passports free of charge.[9] Visa requirements{{main|Visa requirements for Norwegian citizens}}As of 1 January 2018, Norwegian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 173 countries and territories, ranking the Norwegian passport 3rd in terms of travel freedom according to the Henley visa restrictions index.[10] See also
