If you have experienced it, you will never forget it. We are thinking of you who were ready for the big holiday abroad, but who discover at the last minute that your passport has either expired or that you simply cannot find it.

You have forgotten where the “tricky place” you left your passport actually is.
Panic creeps in. Is the holiday over before it has even started?
In any case, it wasn’t a trick.
These are the solutions
The solutions are in any case the same. You must either get an emergency passport, which costs the same as a normal passport, but is only valid for the one journey. Or you have to get an ordinary passport at the last minute.

In short
- Have you lost or forgotten your passport before a big holiday? You can either get an emergency passport that costs the same as a normal passport, but is only valid for the one journey, or get an ordinary passport at the last minute.
- Book an appointment at the nearest passport office, and depending on where you are going, the case manager can assess whether you can get a new passport issued before your trip or whether you can be issued an emergency passport.
- There is also an express delivery, but it is not guaranteed that you will be able to use it.

Here are the tips for those who need a passport as soon as possible.
Contact
– Book an appointment at the nearest passport office, most passport offices currently have available appointments within a short time. If necessary, check if other nearby passport offices have a free time earlier, says acting section chief Unni Norum in the Norwegian Police Directorate to DinSide.
This has never happened before
– Depending on where you are going to travel, the case manager can assess whether you can get a new passport issued before the trip or whether you can get an emergency passport issued. If necessary, contact the nearest passport office on the phone to get guidance on what to do.
The express solutions
There is also a solution that many people don’t know about: an express delivery. But you can’t trust that you’ll be able to use it if you’re “just” going on a normal holiday in the future. And especially not if you have a history that shows that you have lost your passport in the past.
– If you can document that you have booked travel, the case manager can decide whether you can order an ordinary passport with faster delivery or whether you must have an emergency passport, continues Norum.
A quicker opportunity
Smokes after one hour
– Is it faster if you pick up the completed passport at the police station rather than having it sent home?
– The passports are produced in Oslo and sent either directly to the recipient’s registered address or to the passport office for delivery. Local postal agreements with deliveries only a number of days a week to the recipient’s mailbox may possibly amount to a day or two, but in theory there should be no difference.
– Is there a difference in the delivery time if you choose an ID card rather than a passport?
Hello, my name is Odd Roar Lange and I am a travel expert and journalist for DinSide and Dagbladet. Do you have a tip or question about passports and ID cards? Or do you want to tell your travel story on Norway’s largest consumer website DinSide.no? Perhaps you have an experience, a question or a smart suggestion that others should get to know?
– Currently, the delivery time for passports and national ID cards is the same, so there should be no difference. Nor will the delivery time be extended if you order both passport and ID card at the same time, concludes Norum.
