Your first move towards seeking asylum
The first move you've to do is just go get a police(you can easily get a police in the Airport or train station) and tell him that you are an asylum seeker.Never get scared from a police!policemen in Norway are polite,they don't even attack you for just asking them about what you are looking for like what policemen do back in my country.If you have documents with you that you don't think can cause you trouble,never hesitate to hand it to the police.
The police will immediately take you to the police station in Oslo.You can even go to the police station by yourself with out seeking help from police or some one else.The police station is not far away from Oslo's train station.
When you arrive at the police station,push the door and then ask the police man you get first that you are seeking asylum.He will probably ask you about your mother tongue and where you came from.Never expect him to ask you about your full name.He will take your finger print(your thumb and index finger's) and will give you a number.Then you will be admitted to a reception room to wait for your turn for a police interview.
If you have a Dublin case(if you have sought asylum in other country that signed the Dublin regulation before or if you have your fingerprints taken in one of the countries that signed the Dublin regulation) don't even think or dream of lying!The police at the front door who took your two fingers' prints won't tell you that you have a Dublin case.You can even pretend as if you don't have a Dublin case for months thinking the Norwegian authorities couldn't find your fingerprint in the Dublin database.Come on!don't deceive your self!once your fingerprint is taken in any of the European countries ,you can't lie about it in any other country.Just tell the police the truth of the route you took to get to Norway.
Then you will get to conduct a police interview which involves taking your whole fingers' prints.In the interview you will be asked about yourself,the case that brought you to Norway and the route and way you took to reach Norway.In addition they will request you to hand them any document you have in hand.I recommend you to bring with you every document you think can help,specially those that can identify about you.Then you will be given an ID card.
After you are done with the interview,you will be transported to a transit camp called Tanum with your fellow asylum seekers you will probably meet in the police station.
