Pre-2020 Export Licenses Won't Renew After January 2026
Summary
Norwegian export control authority DEKSA announced that export licenses issued before January 1, 2020 cannot be renewed after January 2026. Renewal applications must be submitted before February 1, 2026 to be processed. Companies with expiring pre-2020 licenses must apply for new licenses with full documentation if they wish to continue exporting controlled goods, services, or technology.
What changed
DEKSA is implementing a cleanup of outdated export licenses. Licenses issued before January 1, 2020 cannot be renewed after January 2026. While these licenses remain valid until expiration, holders wishing to continue export activities must submit renewal applications before February 1, 2026 or apply for entirely new licenses.
Exporters affected by this change must review their license portfolios immediately. Applications submitted after the deadline will not be processed, requiring a complete new license application with supporting documentation. Companies should prioritize licenses covering active export relationships to avoid business interruption.
What to do next
- Identify all export licenses issued before January 1, 2020 that remain active
- Submit renewal applications to DEKSA before February 1, 2026
- Prepare new license applications with full documentation for any licenses not renewed in time

Fra februar vil ikke lisenser utstedt før 2020 fornyes
Nyhet | 11. desember 2025 Søknader om forlengelse av eksportlisenser utstedt før 01.01.2020 må sendes før 1. februar 2026 for å bli behandlet.
Søknader om forlengelse av eksportlisenser utstedt før 1.1.2020 må sendes før 1. februar 2026 for å bli behandlet.
Lisenser utstedt før 1.1.2020 kan uansett benyttes til de løper ut, men det vil ikke være mulig å forlenge disse etter januar. Andre endringer vil unntaksvis være mulig ved behov.
Dersom det fremdeles er aktuelt å ha eksportlisens for varen, tjenesten eller teknologien, må det søkes ny lisens. Forholdet må forklares og all nødvendig dokumentasjon må legges ved i den nye søknaden.
Dette vil på sikt rydde opp i gamle lisenser.
