Edit personal data
During the signature process, you will encounter the question, "Do you have a BankID?" If you do not possess a Norwegian BankID and Norwegian national ID number or D number, please respond with "No." Subsequently, you will be prompted to provide a copy of your passport and your signature. The contract will be drafted in English.
If you already maintain an employee or contractual relationship with the University of Oslo, your address and bank account number are already recorded in the payroll system. Occasionally, these details cannot be modified during the signing process. For any concerns regarding this matter, kindly reach out to your caseworker.
All dates are written using the Norwegian date format: DD.MM.YYYY. E.g.: 01.06.21 means 1 June 2021.
