An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Norway that means Norway’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Norway, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Norway issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Typical requests from Norway concern employment, healthcare registration and residence. EEA but not EU: Regulation 2016/1191 does not apply, so civil-status documents need the apostille; English is widely accepted.
Authority fee: No charge (official fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)

Where an apostille from Norway is not enough
No Contracting State has an objection in force against Norway: the apostille is accepted in every other Convention country. Non-Convention countries (UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Iraq …) still require consular legalisation.

Apostille in Norway: questions
Under Article 6 of the Convention Norway has designated: The County Governors; Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The notary reviews your application and we route the document to the right office.
In every other Contracting State – no objection is in force against Norway. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) still need consular legalisation.
The authority’s fee listed with the HCCH: No charge. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately from Notaryzer’s service fee in your written quote; nothing is charged before you accept.
The apostille itself is standardised and accepted without translation. The document is in Norwegian or English; most recipients abroad want a sworn or certified translation into their language, which we add in the same order.
The Convention has been in force for Norway since July 29, 1983.
