Long Form Birth Certificate - Norway

[blenheim 243]

Hi!
I'm a bit worried that we're going to receive an RFE when filing for AOS as Norway does not have long form birth certificates. The only official birth certificates in Norway do not include information on parents and don't look very "official". Has anyone successfully filed AOS with a Norwegian birth certificate or does anyone know of other documents I can pick up to avoid an RFE?

Thanks

Birth Certificates

Available. A birth certificate, fødselsattest, is available for those born after January 1, 1916. Copies can be obtained from the parish where the parents resided at the time of birth (if born between 1916 and 1946) or from the Public Census Office, Folkeregisteret, in the city or town of birth if born after 1946. Baptismal certificates, dåpsattest, are no longer considered official documents, but may be obtained. If the parents were members of the State (Lutheran) Church or residing temporarily in Norway, the baptismal certificates are issued by the Norwegian State Church (Den Norske Kirke) through the parish where the parents resided at the time of the applicant's birth. The parish also issues certificates for those whose parents were not members of any church. Members of other faiths may write to their ministers. Both birth certificates and baptismal certificates list the child's name, sex, date and place of birth, and parents' names at a minimum and are signed and sealed with a rubber seal.

Thanks for your reply. The birth certificate they list there, fødselsattest, is the short form one without any details on parents, so I guess that must be acceptable.

If there's nothing else available then it must be acceptable, yep.

I don't think there will be a problem. They have probably seen a Norwegian birth certificate before at the embassy in Stockholm.

I bet the interview in Sweden will be fine since they're familiar, but I'm preparing our AOS documents now (quite a bit ahead of time) and am worried that the Norwegian birth certificate having no version that includes information on parents will cause confusion with the officer reviewing the AOS papers. I wonder if there is any other document one can get in Norway that has more info with parents along with birth certificate to avoid any confusion

No worries. You're from Norway

 

"Why do we want these people from all these sh**hole countries here? We should have more people from places like Norway.

Just send it. If you get an RFE you can just print out the explanation of the birth certificate from:
