What Makes Norwegian Document Translation Different
Norwegian document translation has its own considerations, so here's how we handle it:
- Bokmål or Nynorsk?
- Norway has two official written standards, Bokmål and Nynorsk, and documents can be issued in either one depending on the municipality or school. We translate both directly — neither needs to be converted to the other first.
- Norwegian civil records (Folkeregisteret)
- Norwegian civil status runs through the Folkeregisteret (National Population Register), administered by Skatteetaten, the Norwegian Tax Administration, and documents are built around your fødselsnummer (national ID number). We translate whichever extract your case requires and preserve the fødselsnummer correctly.
- Norwegian academic records (vitnemål)
- a vitnemål from upper secondary school typically combines diploma and grades in one document; university-level records usually add a separate karakterutskrift. We translate whichever version your case requires.
- Sending a document to Norway instead?
- if your document needs to go to a court, notary, or government office in Norway, the requirement for official use there is different, distinct from the U.S. Certificate of Accuracy we provide. Confirm with the receiving office.
What that means for your document
Norwegian documents can be written in Bokmål or Nynorsk, and civil records run through the Folkeregisteret rather than a standalone birth certificate; an unfamiliar translator can trip on either one.
Documents We Most Commonly Translate From Norwegian
These are the documents we translate from Norwegian most often:
- Birth Certificate Translation — Covers extracts from the Folkeregisteret (National Population Register), built around your fødselsnummer, in whatever format your document was issued.
- Marriage Certificate Translation — Frequently needed for USCIS filings, civil matters, and family cases; in Norway this is typically a Folkeregisteret extract as well.
- Diploma Translation — Covers Norwegian vitnemål (diploma/grade record) and, for university-level records, a separate karakterutskrift (transcript), plus English-into-Norwegian translation of U.S. records for family members.
Sample certified translation documents
Your certified translation is delivered as a digital PDF with an official Certificate of Translation Accuracy, signed and stamped by the translator and Cloud Translate. We apply basic formatting to keep it readable, but we do not replicate the design of your source document.
The certification includes:
- A statement confirming the translation is complete and accurate.
- The document description and language pair.
- The translator’s signature and qualifications.
- Cloud Translate’s signature, stamp, letterhead, and contact information.

The translation matched our birth certificate exactly, and it was accepted by USCIS on the first try. Turnaround was faster than I expected.

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions.
The questions people ask before ordering a Norwegian translation.
How long does a certified Norwegian translation take?
Most are completed within 24–48 hours. Expedited and same-day delivery are available when a deadline is close.
Will USCIS accept my certified Norwegian translation?
Yes. We provide a signed Certificate of Accuracy with every translation, the standard format USCIS and most U.S. agencies require for Norwegian-language documents.
My document is in Nynorsk, not Bokmål (or vice versa). Does that matter?
No. Bokmål and Nynorsk are Norway's two official written standards, and we translate documents in either one. Neither needs to be converted to the other first — we translate directly from whichever standard your document uses.
Norway doesn't have birth certificates the way the U.S. does. What do I send instead?
Send us your extract from the Folkeregisteret (National Population Register), administered by Skatteetaten, the Norwegian Tax Administration. It documents birth, citizenship, or family details depending on which version you request, and we translate it as the civil record it is.
What is a fødselsnummer, and will it be included in my translation?
Yes. The fødselsnummer is the 11-digit national identity number on most Norwegian civil records. We preserve it exactly and note its format clearly, since it doesn't map directly onto a U.S. Social Security number or other ID.
What is a vitnemål, and can you translate mine?
Yes. A vitnemål is a Norwegian diploma; at the upper secondary level it includes your grades in one document, while university records usually add a separate karakterutskrift. We translate whichever version you need.
What documents do you most commonly translate from Norwegian?
Folkeregisteret civil records and academic records (vitnemål and karakterutskrift) are the most common, but we translate any personal, legal, or business document from Norwegian.
My document needs to go to Norway, not a U.S. agency. Is this the right page?
If your document is headed to a court, notary, or government office in Norway, the requirement for official use there is different, a distinct process from the U.S. Certificate of Accuracy we provide. Confirm with the receiving office whether this applies to your case.
