What do opting out mean?

Opting out of online communication will apply to

• individual decisions
• prior notification under the Public Administration Act § 16
• other messages that are important to your legal position or for case processing
• notifications which for other reasons it is particularly important to ensure that you receive

This means that if you opt out, letters containing important information will only be sent to you in paper format. For example, it may be your tax return, a building permit or a decision concerning benefits from NAV. If you opt out of online communication, it applies to the entire public sector, both central and local government.

Due to the postal service you will receive the letter later than if sent digitally. 

If you opt out of online communication, you will still be able to log on to, and use public services online.
