The hunting fee is now checked with the Register of Hunters

When someone buys hunting in Norway through Hunta, we now check the hunting fee directly with the Register of Hunters in Brønnøysund. Many of our customers asked for it, and now it is here.

Many of you asked for it

The hunting fee (jegeravgift) must be paid before anyone hunts in Norway. For those selling hunting, that has meant asking for a receipt or trusting that the hunter has paid. Several landowners, associations and mountain boards have asked us to do that check for them. Now we do.

How it works

When a hunter buys hunting in Norway through Hunta, whether it is a hunting card, a booking, a draw or a joint hunt, we ask for their hunter number and date of birth. Hunta asks the Register of Hunters at the Brønnøysund Register Centre directly, and the answer comes back right away. The hunter enters the details once, and next time they are already there.

  • Paid: the purchase shows that the fee is paid, for big game or small game in the 2026/27 hunting year. The big game fee covers all hunting.
  • Not paid yet: the hunter can still complete the purchase, but gets a link to pay with the Register of Hunters and a reminder before the hunt.
  • Wrong level: if the hunter has only paid the small game fee, we say so when the hunt is for elk, red deer or wild reindeer.
  • No match: if the hunter number and date of birth do not match, the purchase cannot be completed until they are corrected.

What the host sees

Landowners, associations and mountain boards see a badge next to each hunter in their bookings and in the hunting card register: Fee paid · big game, Fee paid · small game, Self-declared or Payment not confirmed. Nobody has to ask for a receipt.

There is nothing to set up. The check applies to all hunting in Norway sold through Hunta.
