Authorizing WorkFlex for A1 Applications in Norway

Give WorkFlex BV power of attorney in Altinn so WorkFlex can submit A1 / applicable legislation applications to NAV on your behalf. Takes about 5 minutes.

Written by David William

WorkFlex submits A1 applications for Norway to NAV through Altinn, Norway's public services portal. For this, your company gives WorkFlex BV a power of attorney in Altinn. You only need to set this up once.

This is one of the steps in Authorizing WorkFlex for A1 applications in Norway, together with the company and employee powers of attorney.

Before you start

  • You log in to Altinn with your personal ID (BankID, MinID or similar).

  • You need rights to manage access for your company in Altinn. Usually this is the general manager / CEO, or someone with the access manager role.

  • Have the WorkFlex organization number ready: 933873374

Step 1: Log in and choose your company

Go to altinn.no and log in. At the top right, check that your company is selected (company name and org. no. appear next to the Menu button). If not, click the arrow and pick your company.

Step 2: Open Access management

Click Menu (top right), then click Access management.

Step 3: Go to Users

Under Other powers of attorney, click Users ("People and organizations that have been granted powers of attorney in [your company]").

Step 4: Add a new user

Click + New user (top right of the list).

Step 5: Add WorkFlex as an organization

  1. In the pop-up, open the Organization tab (not Person).

  2. In Organization number, enter the WorkFlex org. no.: 933873374

  3. Click Add organization.

Add new person or organization pop-up, Organization tab

Step 6: Open Single services

On the Workflex BV page, open the Single services tab. You can ignore Access packages. It's normal to see "This user has no services" at this point.

Step 7: Give power of attorney

Click + Give power of attorney.

Step 8: Find and select the NAV service

  1. In the search box, type: Application for Norwegian membership in the National Insurance Scheme or determination of applicable legislation

  2. Select the result from Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) (with the red NAV logo).

  3. Give power of attorney and confirm if asked.

When it has worked, the service is highlighted and the button changes to Delete power of attorney. Don't click it: that would remove the access again.

Step 9: Check that it's done

Close the pop-up. The Single services tab now shows Power of attorney for 1 single service, with the NAV application listed. WorkFlex is now authorized in Altinn to submit A1 applications to NAV for your company.

Troubleshooting

  • I don't see Access management or New user: you probably don't have access manager rights. Ask your general manager or Altinn administrator to do it, or to give you the role.

  • The organization number isn't accepted: check for spaces or typos, and make sure the Organization tab (not Person) is selected.

  • Too many search results: type the full service name and pick the one from NAV.
