Name Registration Authority

This page defines a scheme for assigning identifiers to natural persons using the BCSS Person Signing Service. Such identifiers identifies a natural person uniquely and are to be used in the serialNumber attribute in the subject field of digital certificates issued in the service. These identifiers are prefixed with ‘BP:NO’.

For some Norwegian eID means used, we reuse identifiers from the eID means where the identifiers are managed by the Norwegian national scheme. Such identifiers are prefixed with ‘UN:NO’. See details on https://www.nkom.no/english/nameRegistrationAuthority.
