Case processing times

Nav processes your case as quickly as possible. The processing time is the period from when we receive your application until a decision has been made.

In particularly demanding cases, or cases where we have not received complete and correct information, the processing time may be longer than we initially indicated.

The processing time may change on short notice, even after we have received your application. This applies in particular during holiday periods.

If you are applying for a change to a benefit that you are already receiving, or a benefit that has been stopped, we will have to reprocess your case.

There are separate processing times for employers.
