Norway MVA Number Validator
Check whether a Norwegian organisation number, often written locally as organisasjonsnummer or org.nr, is registered in MVA-registeret. A Norwegian VAT-registered business is normally shown as NO plus the 9-digit organisation number and the MVA suffix, for example NO987654321MVA.
Check organisasjonsnummer in MVA-registeret
Use this Norway MVA validator to check whether a Norwegian business is registered for Merverdiavgift. In Norway the practical identifier is the organisasjonsnummer (org.nr), and when the company is VAT registered it is written with the MVA suffix, such as NO987654321MVA.
The check uses Norwegian register evidence from Brønnøysundregistrene, including Enhetsregisteret and the MVA Register status flag. Norway is not part of the EU VIES database, so a Norwegian MVA certificate should document Brønnøysundregistrene evidence instead of VIES evidence. VIESAC stores the validation timestamp, register response and certificate history for 10+ years.
Frequently asked questions about Norwegian MVA validation
What is a Norwegian MVA number?
A Norwegian MVA number is an organisation number registered for Merverdiavgift. In practice it is written as NO987654321MVA: NO, nine digits, then the MVA suffix.
Is Norwegian MVA checked through VIES?
No. Norway is outside the EU VIES VAT database. Norwegian MVA registration should be checked against Brønnøysundregistrene register data, especially Enhetsregisteret and the MVA Register flag. VIESAC creates Norwegian certificates using that register evidence rather than a VIES response.
