Apply for access to the Aa Register

All public authorities and others who need information about employment relationships to solve public tasks, can access the register.

Private pension providers may be granted access to necessary information about employment for use in their work on occupational pensions (OTP).

NAV offers three different services to obtain data from the Aa register:

Integrated Lookup (API)

This service provides access to machine-to-machine integration. This is a standard solution offered free of charge. See detailed description of Integrated lookup (Github).

Web postings

This service provides access to notices in a logged-in service at nav.no. This is a standard service for public actors that is offered free of charge. See detailed description of Web postings.

Extraction

This is a delivery that is not in a standard format. To get an extract from the register, the applicant must fill in a detailed description in "Appendix to application - data content" (standard format).

NAV may charge for developing such an extract if there is a need for specially adapted solutions.

You must have the Altinn right "Søke om tilgang til Aa-registeret og forvalte avtaleforhold" to be able to log into NAV's application portal for the Aa register and apply for access. Everyone who is registered with the following roles in the Enhetsregister has these rights in Altinn:

• Managing shipowner
• Managing Director / Managing Director
• Participant with shared responsibility
• Participant with full responsibility
• Complementary
• Norwegian representative for a foreign entity
• Chairman

The Altinn right can be delegated to others.

If you have questions related to the Altinn right, and how this can be delegated to others, contact user support at Altinn.

When you apply for access to the Aa register, you must log in to the application portal for the Aa register and send a digital application to NAV.
