Getting Norwegian Right

Norwegian is spoken by about 5 million people — and connected to one of the world's most productive economies and millions of people of Norwegian descent abroad. Getting it right means a few choices up front:

Bokmål or Nynorsk. Norway has two official written standards. Bokmål is used by most Norwegians and is the default for business and marketing. Nynorsk is used mainly in western Norway and by many local authorities and schools there. Tell us your audience and we'll write in the right one.

Norwegian, not "Scandinavian." Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish are related but different languages. Your project goes to a native Norwegian translator — not a Danish or Swedish speaker working "close enough."

The right kind of certification. For US purposes (USCIS, courts, universities), we provide a signed certified translation. For documents used in Norway, authorities may require a state-authorized translator (statsautorisert translatør) — check with the receiving office and we'll advise on the next step.

Clean text in every format. Correct æ, ø, and å; Norwegian compound words handled in software strings; and formatting matched to your original.

Norwegian Genealogy and Historic Records

Millions of Americans trace their roots to Norway. We translate the records family researchers, estate lawyers, and genealogists rely on:

  • Church books (kirkebøker): baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and burials
  • Emigration records and passenger lists
  • Census entries and farm (gård) records
  • Probate and property records
  • Letters and diaries from emigrant families

Many of these records are handwritten in Gothic script and use older spelling influenced by Danish, which was Norway's written language for centuries. Our translators read these hands and conventions. Send a clear scan and we'll quote based on length and legibility.
