How your case is processed and when you will receive a decision.
Recently edited : 31. October 2024When will you receive the decision letter
It normally takes around two months from we receive all the necessary documentation until you receive the decision letter.
If the application is missing documentation
If we need additional documentation, you will receive an e-mail with information about the specific documents that are missing. Please log in to the application portal to upload the necessary documents. Read more about our documentation requirements for recognition of tertiary vocational education.
How to use the application portal
Application results
You will be notified when we have processed the application and the decision letter is ready. We use a digital mailbox. If you want the decision letter to be sent there, you must create your own digital mailbox (difi.no). You will also find a copy of the decision letter in the applicant portal.
Do you have questions?
If you have questions about your application, you can send a message to the case officer when you are logged into the applicant portal. You can write a message when the status of the application has been set to “case is being processed”. Use the “Ask a question” function under “My messages”. You can also write a message to the case officer three weeks after you have received the decision letter.
Appealing a decision
You have a right to appeal within three weeks after you have received the decision. If you have questions about your decision or about how to appeal, you can send a message to your case officer in the applicant portal until the deadline for appeals expires. Read more about appeals.
