Want to apply Travel document for emergencies (laissez-passer)
Please note that not all the content on this page is available in English.
If your travel document (passport) is lost or stolen while you are travelling abroad, you can apply for a temporary travel document to return to Norway. This is a kind of emergency passport.
The travel document that you can be issued in such cases is called a 'laissez-passer'. This is a document (a sheet of paper) that you can use to cross borders in order to get home to Norway. It does not look like a passport.
Requirements to get a travel document for emergencies
- Your travel document has been lost, stolen or destroyed, or it has expired. The travel document can be a Norwegian immigrant's passport or refugee travel document. It can also be a passport from your home country, if you cannot obtain a new passport from your home country in the place where you are travelling.
- You must hold a valid residence permit in Norway.
