Write the address exactly as it is used locally, then add the country name in capital English letters on the last line.

Tips and common mistakes

• Write the town in capitals: 0150 OSLO.
• Letters after a house number, like 12B, mark separate entrances.
• Street endings like veien and gata are part of the name.
• Keep the leading zero in Oslo postcodes.

Counties of Norway

Norway has 15 counties in our data. The county is rarely required in a postal address, but forms and databases often store it separately.

Test data for Norway

There is no widely reserved fictional phone range here, so the generator leaves phone numbers out. Generated addresses use real towns and postcode areas with invented streets and names, so they are safe for form testing, mockups and documentation.
