Temporary redirection

If away and wants mail redirected

We forward all mail sent through Posten to Norway and abroad. Parcels can only be forwarded in Norway and for a fee.

Temporary redirection is used when you know you are going back to your original address. You keep your permanent address in our address register. Are you not going back, you should order permanent change of address.

Note: Mail that is forwarded can take up to two business days extra.

Application deadlines

When ordering online, the order must be made at least two working days before storage is to start. If you order by phone, you must count four working days and when ordering at Posten, it is five days.

It's that simple:

  • Use BankID, or any of the other options that appears, and log in.
  • Type where the mail is to be sent, who in the household the order applies to and how long the mail will be forwarded
  • Pay with Visa or Mastercard.
