Frequently asked questions
What is the IBAN format for Norway?
A Norway IBAN is 15 characters long. It starts with the country code "NO", followed by 2 check digits and the BBAN — 4-digit bank code + 6-digit account + 1 check digit. Example structure: NO93 8601 1117 947 (a sample, not a real account).
How long is a Norway IBAN?
Exactly 15 characters, including the "NO" country code and the 2 check digits. This length is fixed by the ISO 13616 registry and is the same for every Norway bank.
What is the VAT number format for Norway?
Norway VAT numbers use the prefix "NO": 9-digit org. number + MVA (e.g. NO 999 999 999 MVA). The VAT number is separate from the IBAN — one identifies the business for tax, the other identifies the bank account.

No. The validator checks the country code, the 15-character length and the MOD-97 checksum entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent anywhere.
