Norway Coordinated Register Notification (Samordnet registermelding) — Main Form

Brønnøysundregistrene's (the Brønnøysund Register Centre) form BR-1010B, "Samordnet registermelding – Hovedblankett" ("Coordinated Register Notification – Main Form"), used to register a business in the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities (Enhetsregisteret) and, as applicable, the Register of Business Enterprises (Foretaksregisteret), the NAV Register of Employers and Employees (Aa-registeret), Statistics Norway's Register of Businesses and Enterprises, the Register of Foundations (Stiftelsesregisteret), and the Norwegian Tax Administration's register of non-personal taxpayers. A single "coordinated" form covers every legal entity type Enhetsregisteret accepts — from a sole proprietorship (enkeltpersonforetak) through public limited companies (ASA), foundations, cooperatives, and public-sector bodies — as well as changes, mergers, demergers, and deletions for an already-registered business. This document describes the form only; it does not submit anything, and does not imply Norwegian government endorsement.

Whether this section 12 (simpler entities: owner/managing director/business manager) or section 19's board/participants table applies is entity-type-dependent; GovSchema v0.3 has no "at least one of these two sections" cross-field primitive, so neither is modelled as unconditionally required -- disclosed in VERIFICATION.md rather than guessed.

Whether this section 12 (simpler entities: owner/managing director/business manager) or section 19's board/participants table applies is entity-type-dependent; GovSchema v0.3 has no "at least one of these two sections" cross-field primitive, so neither is modelled as unconditionally required -- disclosed in VERIFICATION.md rather than guessed.

Verification record

Candidate selection

GOV-2316 is a direct follow-on to GOV-2314 ("GovSchema Standard Research"), which scouted Norway, Belgium, and Luxembourg in parallel via three general-purpose subagents doing real WebSearch+fetch across all 6 verticals for each. Norway rated the strongest opening: genuine unauthenticated AcroForm PDFs in 4 of its 6 verticals (Business Formation ~380 widgets, Visa ~328, DMV ~82, National ID ~63); Passport and Taxes were pre-scouted as weak/dead-end (Norway's tax return has been fully digital/pre-filled with no paper fallback since 2022; the passport process is online/in-person-only with no downloadable application PDF). Belgium's candidates were all flat non-fillable PDFs (no AcroForm widgets in any of the 6 verticals). Luxembourg had 2 strong candidates (Taxes 1128 widgets, DMV 42 widgets) but 4 of 6 weak/dead. Norway's 4-of-6 hit rate made it the stronger overall opening, matching this registry's Finland precedent (GOV-2276).

This document opens Norway (the registry's 35th jurisdiction) via Business Formation — Brønnøysundregistrene's (BRREG) "Samordnet registermelding" (Coordinated Register Notification), form BR-1010B — the richest of the 4 pre-scouted candidates, matching this registry's precedent of opening a new jurisdiction via its strongest vertical (e.g. Finland/GOV-2276, fi/migri/residence-permit-employed-person).

Source

  • URL: https://www.brreg.no/wp-content/uploads/BR-1010BM.pdf
  • Fetched fresh this session with a plain HTTP GET: HTTP 200, 2,313,349 bytes — matching this issue's own pre-recorded figure exactly. Confirmed a genuine PDF (%PDF-1.6 header), 6 pages, no login/CAPTCHA/WAF gate anywhere on brreg.no.
  • Edition: the form's own footer prints "BR–1010B-2026" on every page (the 2026 edition, currently live as of this cycle). Note the source filename on the BRREG web server is BR-1010BM.pdf (with a trailing "M"), while the form's own internally-printed identifier reads "BR–1010B-2026" (no "M") — a disclosed filename/internal-identifier discrepancy, not incorporated into this document's own id (which follows this registry's own <agency>/<process-name> convention, not the source's internal form number).

Extraction technique

pdfjs-dist (legacy/build/pdf.mjs v4, installed fresh to a disposable /tmp directory) was used for a three-pass extraction:

  1. doc.getFieldObjects() resolved 386 distinct field names, matching this issue's own pre-recorded figure exactly.
  2. Per-page page.getAnnotations({ intent: 'display' }) resolved every /Widget annotation's fieldName, fieldType (Tx/Btn), checkBox/radioButton flags, exportValue, and alternativeText (tooltip, where present), and rect (position) — 380 raw widgets across 6 pages (207 Tx text, 173 Btn checkbox, 0 Ch), matching this issue's own pre-recorded figure exactly. 379 distinct widget fieldNames among the 380 widgets: one raw name (Postnummer7, page 2) is reused by two independent widgets at different positions — a disclosed source-form authoring duplicate/typo (see "Judgment calls and disclosed quirks" below), not a repeated/kids-of-one-field structure.
  3. Per-page getTextContent(), clustered into visual lines by y-coordinate and cross-referenced by x-coordinate against each widget's own rect — used to decode this specimen's own field names, which (unlike this registry's fi/prh precedent) are a mix of self-documenting Norwegian words (Navn1, Organisasjonsnummer, Adresse2) and fully generic sequential names (Check Box16...Check Box150, Boks14... Boks50, Text14...Text38) with no alternativeText tooltip on the generic ones. Every generic checkbox/text widget's semantic meaning was derived from its rect x/y position relative to the nearest printed label, cross-checked against consistent left-to-right/top-to-bottom reading-order and checkbox-before-label offset patterns (typically 17-25pt) observed across every confidently verifiable group on this specimen (e.g. the 26-option organisational-form grid in field 8, whose 3-column/9-row checkbox-to-label mapping was independently re-derived by x-position and cross-checked against the section's own printed 3-column layout).

A rendering attempt via a headless-Chromium/Playwright pipeline (using this environment's cached playwright-core + chromium-1228 binary against /paperclip/chrome-sysroot's shared libraries) failed: Chromium's built-in PDF viewer crashed on this specimen. A second attempt rendering each page to a PNG canvas via pdfjs-dist + node-canvas (with standardFontDataUrl and cMapUrl correctly configured) produced only the AcroForm widget rectangles with no glyph text at all on every page attempted — consistent with this specimen's visible page content being a background raster image (not vector text) that node-canvas's image-decoding path could not paint, while the invisible OCR text layer above it (the actual source of every getTextContent() result used throughout this extraction) rendered fine as data but not as pixels. This means the coordinate-based inference below was not cross-checked against a rendered visual of the specimen; every mapping is disclosed as either confidently reproducible (consistent, verifiable offset patterns; the large majority of this form) or explicitly flagged as lower-confidence (two specific checkbox rows, below).

A disposable reconciliation script (/tmp/no-brreg-extract/gen/reconcile.mjs, not committed) mapped all 379 distinct widget names to this document's fields[]/documents[] entries and confirmed: 378/379 mapped, 1 disclosed exclusion (Check Box84, page 2 — a stray widget positioned directly under the "Kryss av" ("Tick") column-header text for section 12's contact- person role grid, with no adjacent label of its own and no tooltip; excluded as a non-data-collecting artifact, the same treatment this registry's fi/prh precedent gave its form's page-navigation/utility buttons, disclosed here rather than silently dropped). The remaining 378 names consolidate to 240 fields[] entries and 6 documents[] entries.

Field consolidation

  • 26-option organisational form (section 8, "Organisasjonsform") — every legal entity type Enhetsregisteret accepts (sole proprietorship through public limited companies, foundations, cooperatives, public-sector bodies, etc.), printed as a 3-column checkbox grid — consolidated into one legalEntityType enum field, with legalEntityTypeOtherText gated requiredWhen on the 3 values whose own printed label says "må spesifiseres i felt 26" (must be specified in field 26).
  • Notification type (4 checkboxes: not registered before / changes / dissolution decision / deletion) → one notificationType enum, since these are mutually-exclusive purposes of a single submission.
  • Ja/Nei checkbox pairs throughout (e.g. 3.1, 3.2, the four sub-unit establishment/transfer questions in 9a/9b) → single boolean fields (true = "Ja" ticked), per this registry's established convention.
  • 11 repeating board/participant rows (section 19, "Styre, deltakere og annet") → flattened to boardMember1...boardMember11, each with IdNumber/Name/Role/ResponsibilityShare/SpecialInformation/ Address/PostalCode/Place. This is the largest bounded-repeat flattening in this registry to date (prior largest: 3 rows, fi/vero); justified because the source specimen itself prints exactly 11 rows and a company's board is a first-class, frequently-multi-member concept this schema would otherwise materially under-represent. The 7-role column grid (Styrets leder/Nestleder/Styremedlem/Varamedlem/Observatør/ Komplementar/Deltaker) is confidently mapped: its own column headers are self-documenting printed text directly above 7 consistently-positioned checkboxes repeated identically across all 11 rows.
  • 12 repeating signatory-printed-name slots (section 28) → signatoryPrintedName1...signatoryPrintedName12 (only the actual hand-signature is unfillable in a PDF; the "repeat in block letters" printed-name slot is the fillable counterpart).
  • 2 contact-person rows (section 12) → contactPerson1/contactPerson2, each with an IdNumber/Name/Role/Address/PostalCode/Place. Row 2's source specimen has only 4 role checkboxes (no "Innehaver"/owner option), a disclosed asymmetry versus row 1's 5 — matching this registry's established precedent that such per-row option-set differences are convention, not a bug (cf. dk/siri's previousEmployment1-3 visibleWhen asymmetry, GOV-2288).
  • Sub-unit establishment/transfer (9a/9b/10a/10b) — a two-column, multi-row block with generic Text33-Text38/Dato1-Dato2#1/ Check Box57-Check Box64 names — decoded via the shared "Har virksomheten [-startet ny aktivitet?] / [-overtatt underenhet?]" stem spanning both columns, cross-referenced against each row's own Ja/Nei checkbox x-position (leftmost = "Ja", per the printed "JaNei" reading order) to yield 4 boolean+date pairs (newActivityStarted, activityDiscontinued, subUnitTakenOver, subUnitTransferred) plus the previous/new owner detail blocks (10a/10b).

Judgment calls and disclosed quirks

  • Two checkbox rows modelled with lower confidence (disclosed in each field's own description): section 17's ("Fusjon"/merger) mergerResolutionType (3 values, from Check Box9/10/11) and section 18's ("Fisjon"/demerger) demergerDecisionType (5 values, from Check Box28/29/56/66 and Boks21). Both rows carry generic sequential Btn names with no alternativeText tooltip, spread across a densely wrapped 2-line, multi-column label that even the coordinate/reading-order technique used everywhere else on this form could not fully disambiguate with certainty (attempts to render the actual page visually to confirm, described above, did not succeed). The enum value sets and their left-to-right ordering are a best-effort inference, not a tooltip- or visual-confirmed mapping — flagged for a future cycle to re-verify against a properly rendered page image. Every other checkbox group on this form (including the 26-option organisational-form grid, the 7-role board grid, and all Ja/Nei pairs) was independently confirmed via consistent, verifiable x/y offset patterns and is not subject to this caveat.
  • Postnummer7 naming duplicate (page 2, section 10b): two independent widgets at different positions (postal-code column, then post-town column) share the identical raw AcroForm field name — an authoring duplicate/typo in the source specimen. Modelled as two distinct schema fields (newOwnerPostalCode, newOwnerPlace) by their printed position, disclosed in each field's own description rather than silently merged or silently treated as one shared value.
  • Check Box84 exclusion (page 2): a stray widget with no adjacent label or tooltip, positioned directly under the "Kryss av" column-header text above section 12's contact-person role grid — excluded as non-data-collecting, disclosed above under "Extraction technique" rather than silently dropped.
  • Section 12 vs. section 19 "at least one contact" gap: whether a business fills in section 12 (owner/managing director/business manager/Norwegian representative/other contact — the natural fit for simpler entity types) or section 19's full board/participants table (the natural fit for AS/ASA-type companies) is entity-type-dependent, and the source form does not gate one on the other with a checkbox this schema could reference. GovSchema v0.3's crossFieldValidation has no "at least one of these two sections" primitive (only two-field compare or a when-gated requireAbsent/requirePresent). Neither contactPerson1Name nor boardMember1Name is therefore modelled as unconditionally required: true; disclosed here rather than guessed, matching this registry's fi/prh precedent for its own "postal or street address is mandatory" either/or gap.
  • Narrative-conditional documents[] entries: newBoardMemberConfirmationLetter and partnerConsentDeclaration (section 28's own instructions) are each conditioned on whether a specific person "has not signed the notification" — a fact this schema has no corresponding field for (signing is physical, not data-captured per-signatory). Modelled with required: false and no requiredWhen, disclosed in each entry's own sourceRef rather than gated on an invented condition.
  • **capitalReductionUse*/section 16 "Beløpet skal anvendes til" checkboxes** modelled as 5 independent boolean fields rather than one enum, since a capital reduction can plausibly be applied to more than one use simultaneously (e.g. partial repayment and partial fund allocation) — the source does not print these as mutually exclusive.
  • crossFieldValidation (capitalReductionToLessThanFrom, demergerCapitalToLessThanFrom) each compare two optional amount fields that are only meaningfully populated together (a capital reduction/ demerger scenario); this document's own mock conformance interpreter (see below) treats a compare rule as vacuously satisfied when either side is absent, consistent with how fi/prh's own date-ordering rule behaves when its own compared fields are unset.

Mock conformance run

Two scenarios were built and checked against this document's own required/requiredWhen/documents[].requiredWhen/crossFieldValidation grammar with a from-scratch interpreter script (/tmp/no-brreg-extract/gen/conformance-check.mjs, not committed — walks fields[], documents[], and crossFieldValidation[] directly against a candidate data object):

  1. sole-proprietorship-minimal-required-only.json — a sole proprietorship (enkeltpersonforetak) new registration, filling only the 10 statically-required: true fields plus the one conditionally-required field this scenario triggers (notificationEmail, via notificationType: "not_registered_before"). 0 errors.
  2. limited-company-board-capital-and-audit-exemption.json — an AS (aksjeselskap) new registration exercising a 2-member board, share capital, an audit-exemption resolution (with its conditionally-required resolution date), and the articlesOfAssociationOrPartnershipAgreement conditional document. 0 errors.

5 mutation controls, each expected to raise exactly 1 error, all confirmed:

  • Dropping businessName (a statically-required field) → 1 error (MISSING REQUIRED FIELD: businessName).
  • Dropping notificationEmail while notificationType is "not_registered_before" → 1 error (MISSING REQUIRED FIELD: notificationEmail).
  • Removing articlesOfAssociationOrPartnershipAgreement from scenario 2's documents[] list entirely (not just marking it unprovided) → 1 error (MISSING REQUIRED DOCUMENT: articlesOfAssociationOrPartnershipAgreement (listed=false)) — confirming the checker's documents[] requiredness path is actually exercised, not just its fields[] path (a documents-blind-spot bug this registry's tooling has hit before).
  • Setting capitalReductionToAmount greater than capitalReductionFromAmount → 1 error (CROSS-FIELD VIOLATION: capitalReductionToLessThanFrom).
  • Setting auditExempted: true while omitting auditExemptionResolutionDate → 1 error (MISSING REQUIRED FIELD: auditExemptionResolutionDate).

The checker script additionally walks every visibleWhen/requiredWhen/ crossFieldValidation field reference in the document and confirms each resolves to a real fields[] entry (0 dangling references).

Validation

node tools/validate.mjs registry/no/brreg/samordnet-registermelding/1.0.0/schema.json and node tools/validate-ajv.mjs (same path) both pass individually and as part of a full-registry run from a clean checkout of this branch.
