The Directorate of Immigration (UDI) has a department in Narvik, known as UDI Nord. This department's main task is to administer and process cases related to immigration and naturalization. UDI Nord works with various aspects of immigration administration, including processing asylum applications and residence permits.
As part of the Directorate of Immigration, UDI Nord helps to ensure that Norwegian laws and international obligations are complied with in connection with immigration. The department offers guidance and information to people who want to settle in Norway, as well as to those who are already in the country and have questions related to their residence status. UDI Nord is part of the national system for immigration administration and cooperates with other public agencies to carry out its tasks.
