Nav relies on correct information from you to process your case as quickly as possible and to make accurate decisions and payments.

You are required to provide correct information to Nav

You are required to provide Nav with correct and complete information. This obligation also applies to any changes that occur after you have submitted your application.

Consequences of providing incorrect information

If you give wrong or incomplete information, it can lead to:

• Longer processing times
• Incorrect decisions, such as payments that are too low or for too short a period
• Payments from Nav that are too high and must be repaid
• In the most serious cases, being reported to the police. This does not apply in cases where we ask for estimates or other uncertain information.

To receive the correct payment, you must also report any changes to your income or life situation.
