- At Norled, you have been able to pay with AutoPASS ferry cards from January 1, 2019, in addition to cards of the older ferry card type.
- As of April 1, 2019, Norled will no longer sell more Norled cards. We will also stop adding more value to Norled cards. This is in accordance with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration’s transitional scheme, see figure.
- Value cards purchased before April and refills made before April can still be used for another 3 months.
- Norled cannot sell or refill the new AutoPASS cards. See information at www.autopassferje.no on how to order your card and how the scheme works.
- Travelers are encouraged to use up the residual value in their Norled card during the transition period. If you want a refund of the residual value in your Norled card (and deposit), it works in the same way as before, by filling out the online form https://dialog.norled.no/avslutte-verdikort and submitting your card, following the instructions there.
- Large user cards will be discontinued as of April 1. All companies have already received a letter about this.
- Norled Periodekort (“Monthly card with photo”) will continue as before, and will not be phased out by the transition to AutoPASS cards.
About Autopass at Norled otherwise:
- Norled will not start with AutoPASS chip payment until 2020, and then on some specific connections. Norled and our ticket agents cannot answer questions about chip payment and other companies’ connections.
- With an AutoPASS ferry card, you buy a ticket on board in exactly the same way as with older ferry cards: You buy a ticket (incl. driver) corresponding to the length of the vehicle, as well as a ticket for all passengers.
- Norled’s prices, whether you pay with an AutoPASS ferry card or the old cards, are based on the same pricing rules, see the Norwegian Public Roads Administration’s National Regulations for Ferry Fares 2019, with associated price table.
- Norled does not administer the new AutoPASS scheme and cannot respond on behalf of the Norwegian Public Roads Administration:

Additional information from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration:
The AutoPASS payment scheme for ferries will be introduced from January 1, 2019
Discontinuation of old scheme
Today’s value card can be used until 30.06.2019. However, replenishment of new value in the value card ferry card will be stopped on March 30, 2019. Customers who wish to be refunded the remaining value in the value card before it is used up must contact the ferry company that issued the card.
Today’s bulk user card can be used until 31.03.2019, but it is recommended that companies sign a new AutoPASS ferry agreement in good time.
Introduction of a new payment scheme: AutoPASS for ferry
AutoPASS for ferries will be launched on January 1, 2019 and will replace the current national scheme with value cards and bulk user cards. In the new payment scheme, it will be possible to pay with an AutoPASS ferry card or AutoPASS chip linked to a central AutoPASS ferry account.
AutoPASS ferry cards are used on ferry services with passenger payment and AutoPASS tags where only the vehicle is paid for. See more information at www.autopassferje.no or at the individual ferry company.
Procurement of AutoPASS ferry cards and AutoPASS tags
- AutoPASS ferry cards are assigned and issued in connection with the creation of an AutoPASS ferry account.
- AutoPASS tags are available from a toll company, see www.autopass.no for information.
- Those who already have a chip installed in their car only need to create an additional AutoPASS ferry account.
Creating an AutoPASS ferry account
Signing an agreement, setting up an AutoPASS ferry account and making an advance payment is done via www.autopassferje.no. Private individuals can link two vehicles to an agreement, while companies can link as many vehicles as they need to an agreement.
Via “My page” at www.autopassferje.no, receipts and an overview of travel can be retrieved.
