Register membership

NB: Membership with state support requires that you live in Norway and that you are not a member of other Norwegian faith societies, for example the Norwegian Church, the Buddhist Federation, the Norwegian Humanist Association, etc. Cancellation is often done online with BankID, or by logging on to a website.

If you do not wish to opt out of an existing faith society, you can instead become a member with fee – you will receive the same membership benefits.

People who have reached the age of 15 can register themselves in or out. Those who have parental responsibility for a child under the age of 15 can register the child.

Upon registration, you are automatically added to 1) the membership mail by e-mail, 2) the newsletter by e-mail and 3) members only content when logging in. You can unsubscribe from the membership mail and the newsletter yourself when you receive an email.

If you have questions, see further down the page, or send an email to: medlem@dnbf.org

Why become a member?

  • Membership gives priority at the soceity’s events, but our events are also open to those without membership.
  • It’s a great way to support our work – membership gives the society state aid of approx. NOK 1,400 per year per member, which we use for various events.
  • The society is a good place to find other people with the same spiritual interest.
  • You come to a society that lives according to the Buddha’s intention of equal opportunities for all.

Questions and answers

Yes, you can register your children as members. You do this at the same time you register yourself, or afterwards by updating your profile/member data, adding your children.

Yes, membership with state support requires that you are not a member of other faith societies in Norway, e.g. The Norwegian Church, Norwegian Humanist Association, the Buddhist Federation, etc. This is regulated by law.

People who live outside Norway can become a member with fees, but not a member with a state support, because state support is conditional on residence in Norway regulated by Norwegian law.

If you are not sure whether and/or where you are registered, you can in Norway call: 75 00 75 00 (Brønnøysundregistrene) and ask for information about where you may be registered.

For persons under the age of 15, there must be written permission from parents/guardians, or parents/guardians must register them.

You can only be a registered member of one faith society at the same time in Norway, because membership is the starting point for financial support that the state provides, and is regulated by law.

No problem − and you are welcome to re-joint in the future if you wish.
