Digital communication

The Storting has made changes to the law governing communication with citizens. Now all public agencies may communicate digitally with citizens rather than via standard paper mail. Digital communication improves the environment and re-channels public spending.

Opting out

If you do not want to receive digital mail, you can simply let public authorities know that you would prefer to receive official documents and letters on paper. You do this by opting out of the common contact register.
