What are notification addresses for an organization?
A notification address is an email address and/or mobile phone number where an organization can receive notifications. Notifications are sent regardless of whether the recipient has permission to access the content of the message. The sender of the message decides whether a notification should be sent.
Notification addresses are used by public authorities to notify organizations about important messages delivered in Altinn. This means that when an organization has registered one or more notification addresses, it does not need to receive these messages by post.
All organizations registered in the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities are required to register at least one notification address, in accordance with Section 8a of the regulations to the Central Coordinating Register Act. This requirement does not apply to sub-entities, but separate notification addresses can be registered for sub-entities if needed.
Notification addresses are only available to public authorities. Organizations can still voluntarily register an email address and mobile phone number that will be publicly available in the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities. These details will not be used as notification addresses.
How do I register a notification address?
All organizations that are registered in the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities must register a notification address at the same time.
For existing organizations, notification addresses can be added or updated by going to the organization’s settings in Altinn.
What is the purpose of notification addresses?
The purpose of notification addresses is to ensure that all organizations can communicate digitally with public authorities. To enable organizations to receive individual decisions and other important messages digitally, public authorities are required to notify recipients when such messages have been sent. For this purpose, public authorities need access to notification addresses.
Notification addresses are used to send notifications in accordance with Section 8, third paragraph of the eGovernment Regulations, in connection with case processing and other administrative tasks.
A public authority that has sent a notification to a registered notification address has fulfilled its obligation to provide notification under Section 8, third paragraph of the eForvaltningsforskriften
