Secure electronic exchange of data with Statistics Norway via fx.ssb.no

1. Creating a user (this is only done once)

In order to get started, you need to receive an e-mail from Statistics Norway with a link to the portal. Using the link in the e-mail, register a username and create a password. You will need these to log in later.

The e-mail looks like this:

 

Click on the link. This will take you to the following window:

Use the e-mail address as the username and click on Request Password. You will then receive a new e-mail.

Click on the link in this e-mail.

A page will then appear where you create your own password by clicking on Set Password – remember to keep your password for use in subsequent log-ins. Statistics Norway does not have access to this password. Note that this is the password you will always use to access your account. When you receive files, Statistics Norway also texts you a one-time password, which you need to open the relevant file(s). This one-time password is NOT the one you will use to access your account.

You have now registered as a user at fx.ssb.no and can securely exchange files with Statistics Norway.

When Statistics Norway has sent you data, you will receive an automatically generated e-mail saying ‘New Package Is Waiting’, with a link. Click on this link and you will see the log-in screen. Log in with your username and the password you chose when you registered.

For log-in problems, or if you forget your password, please contact Customer Services at Statistics Norway, at kundeservice@ssb.no or tel. (+47) 62 88 55 50.
