Students book an appointment through UDI's Application Portal to the appropriate police station. Students studying at Østfold University College should register with the police at Politiets publikumssenter/Immigration Office in Grålum (Sarpsborg), Rådmann Siras vei 4, 1712 Grålum. Appointments can also be made by calling +47 64 99 30 00. Contact information for Politiets publikumssenter/Immigration Office in Grålum.
After non-EU/EEA students have registered with the police, they will receive a residence card. The residence card proves that you have been granted a residence permit in Norway.
The appointment with the police should be either during the first seven days of arrival, or the first available appointment. The Section for Student Services can arrange group appointments and will provide information regarding this to incoming students. Please note that these appointments are only for individuals studying at Østfold University College.
If you book an appointment on your own, it is important that you fill in your full name and Norwegian address correctly. Your name must also be on your mailbox. If not, the card will not reach you.
Please bring the following documents to the appointment
- Your passport
- The decision letter from the UDI
- Your letter of admission from Østfold University College
- Your confirmation statement of sufficient funds
