A hunter who lives in Sweden goes on an elk hunt in Norway, with a rifle and a hunting dog. On the way, 23 organisations and people in the two countries give the hunter documents, ask to see them, or set the rules. This page shows who they are, what the documents are today, and what they could be in an EUDI wallet.
Who issues each document, and who asks for it
Switch between the documents on the trip today and the credentials we propose for the wallet. Pick one to see what it is like today, the credential and standard it could have, who issues it and who asks to see it, with the statements that say so. A credential needs one issuer to sign it, and a common standard so that the other country can read it. Pick an organisation or person to see what it is and its part in the trip.

Today
Today the Swedish police recommend that Swedish citizens carry a passport or national ID card in the Nordic countries.✓Official source: Polisen
· Before leavingTo give the temporary import permitThe police give the permit to a hunter with a valid licence from home for the firearms. With the application, the hunter sends documentation of their identity and that the firearms are for hunting, for example an invitation to hunt.✓Official source: Våpenforskrifta § 10-14
· Going homeSweden has border control at its internal borders, and has had it without a break since 12 November 2015. The decision for 12 May to 11 November 2026 was followed by one for 12 November 2026 to 11 May 2027. The police decide where and how to check. When someone travels into Sweden, the police check who they are.✓Official source: Regeringen✓Official source: Regeringen✓Official source: Polisen
Assumption On this trip the passport or ID card is only proof of identity, so the identity in the wallet can take its place. A digital travel credential is for the Schengen area’s external borders.COM(2024) 670
Not confirmed A Norwegian gun shop must see documentation of the buyer’s identity, but the rule doesn’t say which. No source says whether the identity in the wallet counts.Våpenforskrifta § 9-5
Not confirmed No source says whether Politiet accepts the identity in the wallet as documentation of identity with the application for an import permit.
Not confirmed No source says whether Polisen accepts the identity in the wallet when it checks who someone is at the internal border.
Not confirmed Norway’s exemption from carrying a travel document is for Nordic citizens. The Swedish police say only the passport and the national ID card prove both identity and Swedish citizenship. No source says whether the nationality in the identity in the wallet would be accepted as proof of citizenship.Utlendingsforskriften § 2-1Polisen
Who has which role behind each credential
The technical issuer would sign the credential: that is our proposal. The actual issuer establishes what the credential says today, the register holds the data, and the responsible authority owns the rules. Pick a credential in the map to see the statements that say so, with their sources.

To hunt in a state common, the hunter must have lived in Norway for the last twelve months. This is also the main rule on Statskog’s land.✓Official source: Landbruksdirektoratet
On Statskog’s land, other hunters may join an elk team as long as they are less than half of its members.✓Official source: Statskog
Assumption Statskog’s “other hunters” means hunters who are not Norwegian citizens and have not lived in Norway for the last year, such as a hunter from Sweden.
IssuesThe municipality (kommunen)Felling permit for elk (fellingstillatelse)1 statement
Each year the municipality gives felling permits for elk to approved hunting areas (vald), not to individual hunters, and sends them to the area’s representative by 15 June.✓Official source: Cervid regulation § 18

A vet in Sweden treats the dog for tapeworm 24 to 120 hours before it enters Norway, and records it in the passport. Mattilsynet says the vet must be in the country the dog is leaving.✓Official source: Mattilsynet
A dog that crosses often can follow the 28-day rule instead, and must on a day trip, for example to Sweden: a treatment at least every 28 days, and, to stop, a last treatment in Norway within 28 days of the one before.✓Official source: Mattilsynet
Sweden is not exempt: only dogs coming straight from Finland, Malta or Ireland need no treatment.✓Official source: Mattilsynet
Nothing more is required once the dog is home, but Mattilsynet recommends an extra treatment if the dog was at risk of infection after the treatment, before coming home.✓Official source: Mattilsynet
Agency’s understanding The tapeworm treatment is what dog owners ask about most, and hunters find its timing the hardest part of travelling with a dog.Workshop on travelling with dogs, October 2026Workshop on hunting, October 2026
Norsk Kennel Klub4 statements, 2 not verified
An elk team in Norway must have access to an approved tracking dog, either brought along or secured by a written agreement.✓Official source: Hunting regulation § 23

After notifying online, the hunter shows the notification number if a customs officer asks.✓Official source: Tullverket
Sources disagree Tullverket says a dog coming from Norway with a microchip and a pet passport needs no notification, and it has told the project the same about a hunter from Norway with their own dog. Jordbruksverket’s general rule for dogs from the EU and Norway says every dog must be declared to customs, at a customs point or in advance on Tullverket’s website.TullverketTullverket, information to the project, October 2026Jordbruksverket

The standards that exist or are on the way for these documents, and where a new one is needed for the two countries to read each other’s credentials.
Rulebooks: the EU’s method for defining a new wallet credential
How new standards are made
A rulebook for a kind of wallet credential must list every piece of data (attribute) that the credential may contain.✓Official source: ARF Annex 2, ARB_06
The Commission, with the member states’ expert group (EDICG), maintains the rulebooks for the identity (PID) and the mobile driving licence.✓Official source: ARF ch. 5.5.2 (rendered)
More (6)
Not confirmed Apart from the rulebooks for the identity and the driving licence, we found none in the framework, and none for hunting, firearms or pets anywhere.
Assumption Hunting licences and firearms licences fall under public permits and licences.
The EU wallet framework expects public administrations, or sectoral or cross-border organisations, to create EU-wide or sectoral rulebooks.✓Official source: ARF ch. 5.5.2 (rendered)
In the ARF, if a credential must be shown in person without using the internet, its rulebook must say it is issued in the ISO mdoc format.✓Official source: ARF Annex 2, ARB_02
EU identity in the wallet (PID)
Standard exists
An EU implementing regulation defines the provider of the identity in the wallet (PID) as the person or organisation responsible for issuing and revoking it.✓Official source: CIR 2024/2977 Art. 2
A 2026 EU implementing regulation says the identity must be issued according to the standards for two formats: SD-JWT VC and ISO mdoc.✓Official source: CIR 2026/1731 Annex I
EU law obliges public bodies, and some private services, to accept the wallet where they ask for electronic identification for an online service.✓Official source: Reg (EU) 2024/1183, Art. 5f
Not confirmed We found no rule that obliges anyone to accept the wallet in a check made in person, such as at the border or in a shop.
Not confirmed We have not confirmed when the rules on accepting the wallet apply in Norway, through the EEA agreement.
Digital travel credential
EU standard on the way
A Commission proposal from 2024 sets a uniform EU standard for digital travel credentials, and an EU app for using them.✓Official source: COM(2024) 670
Assumption The border between Norway and Sweden is inside the Schengen area, so for this trip we propose the identity in the wallet (PID) instead.
A second proposal, for credentials based on EU citizens’ identity cards, says holders should be able to keep them in the EUDI wallet.✓Official source: COM(2024) 671
Not confirmed We did not confirm whether the proposals had been adopted by October 2026.
Hunting licences, exams, shooting tests and tracking dogs
No standard yet
Not confirmed We found no EU act, ISO standard, Nordic agreement or proposal that defines a hunting licence shared across countries, or a common digital format for one.
Not confirmed We found no description of the electronic hunting card in Oma riista as a signed credential that an inspector can verify.
In Estonia, the hunting certificate, the firearms permit and the big-game shooting test certificate are issued electronically.✓Official source: Keskkonnaamet
Assumption Neither country sets a format for the documentation.
More (3)
The EU regulation on bringing firearms into and out of the EU asks a hunter to show the reason for the trip, in particular with an invitation or other proof of the hunt.✓Official source: Regulation (EU) 2025/41
Assumption Regulation (EU) 2025/41 sets no format for the invitation.
When a hunter applies for a Swedish import permit, the police have an invitation form of their own for the host’s certificate.✓Official source: Polisen
Assumption The data in the firearms registers is what a national firearms licence is based on.
More (2)
Not confirmed We found no EU act that defines a model or a data format for national firearms licences, only what the registers must contain.
The Norwegian police say each country decides for itself how it wants ownership of a firearm documented, and that the traveller must always check whether the country accepts Norwegian licences and passes.✓Official source: Politiet
Assumption The border between Sweden and Norway is an EU customs border, since Norway is not in the EU customs union.
More (3)
From 12 February 2029, a hunter leaving the EU with firearms needs no export authorisation, if they submit the trip details through the EU’s electronic licensing system at least 10 working days before.✓Official source: Regulation (EU) 2025/41
Assumption The EU electronic licensing system is for the authorities, not a credential in the hunter’s wallet, and Norway is not bound by the regulation.
Digital EU pet passport
No standard yet
Within two years, the Commission is to assess with the member states how the pet passport could be made digital, including the option of using the EUDI wallet.✓Official source: Commission statement C/2026/4812
Assumption The EU dog register rules are for registers, not a credential that a dog owner could show from a wallet.
What we propose
Assumption Write a shared rulebook for hunting credentials (hunter, hunting fee, exam, shooting test and tracking dog), following the EU’s rules for rulebooks, so that Norway and Sweden can read each other’s credentials.
Assumption Register the rulebooks in the EU catalogue of schemes, so that other countries and wallets can find them.
Assumption Issue credentials that are checked in person in the field in the ISO mdoc format, since they must work without internet in the forest.
Assumption Ask, in the Commission’s evaluation of the Firearms Directive, for the digital European firearms pass to be a wallet credential.
Assumption Bring the needs of travel between Norway and Sweden into the Commission’s assessment of a digital pet passport, instead of defining a pet credential of our own.
Assumption Leave the felling permit and the trophy’s commercial document out of the hunter’s wallet: they belong to the hunting area and the authorities.
Open questions
The questions to take to the agencies, 52 in all: one for everything on this page that is an assumption, not confirmed, or where the sources disagree. Under each question is what we know so far, and who to ask: the organisation it is about, the authority behind the rule, or the European Commission for the EU’s rules.

Ask: Polisen, Politiet
Hunting permit or invitation
Is the documentation for a hunter from Sweden usually the Norwegian hunting team’s invitation?
Assumption On an elk hunt, a hunter from Sweden usually joins a Norwegian hunting team, so the documentation is often the team’s invitation.
Ask: Landbruksdirektoratet
Hunting permit or invitation
Must the hunter carry the hunting permit while hunting in Norway?
Assumption Norwegian law doesn’t ask the hunter to carry the hunting permit while hunting: the hunting regulation lists the documents to carry, and the permit is not among them.Hunting regulation § 4
