The Brønnøysund Register Centre develops and operates many of the nation's most important registers and electronic solutions. Administering Altinn, coordinating data in the public sector and providing advisory services are central tasks that make things easier for business and industry.
Vision
We shall be a world leader in the best interests of Norwegian business and industry and public administration.
The Brønnøysund Register Centre's main tasks are to:
- Instil trust, both as a source of data and in exercising authority
- Simplify business and industry's collaboration with the public sector
- Simplify Norwegian public administration
Financial security through providing an overview
The operation of the Brønnøysund Register Centre is largely concerned with keeping an overview of who is committed to doing what. The Register of Mortgaged Movable Property makes it possible to mortgage assets, because both the borrower and the lender have faith in the register's ability to keep an overview of what has been agreed between the parties. In the same way, the Register of Business Enterprises and the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities ensure that there will be no doubt as to what type of responsibility has been assumed by whom. Openness and keeping an overview help to prevent financial crime. Reliable and relevant information provides financial security.
Key figures:
- We processed almost 2.5 million documents in 2010.
- As much as 140 million searches were made in our databases in 2010.
- Over 31,000 new sole proprietorships were registered in the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities in 2010, of which 6,300 were also registered in the Register of Business Enterprises.
Collaboration and simplification
The Brønnøysund Register Centre plays a key role in in making life simpler for business and industry in their dealings with the public administration. As the body responsible for the joint Altinn portal, we make information and forms available in one place. We are developing SERES with specification of enterprise data to be collected by the public sector, so as to facilitate reuse and reduce the number of questions that have to be answered in each case. We are also responsible for the ELMER guidelines, which ensure that the forms that are still necessary are as simple as possible with common, recognisable design features and online functionality. As a basis for all this, the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities ensures that public agencies can cooperate and exchange data through the use of a joint organisation number.
Key figures:
- In 2010, 89% of all respondents in the user survey stated that they had submitted reports and public forms via Altinn.no.
- In 2010, 43% of all notifications to the Register of Business Enterprises were submitted through Altinn.
Good customer service
The Brønnøysund Register Centre provides good service to our customers. We answer the telephone 490,000 times during the course of a year. In 2010 and 2011 we won the customer service prize in the public sector category at the Call Centre customer service conference.
