Innkomne

Innkomne is a Norwegian adjective and past participle used in administrative and formal contexts to describe items that have been received or submitted to an authority. It refers to documents, proposals, correspondences, votes, or other materials that have arrived and are awaiting processing or consideration.

The term originates from the verb innkomme, meaning to come in, arrive, or be received. As a participle, innkomne is typically used attributively to modify a noun, for example innkomne søknader (applications received) or innkomne dokumenter (documents received). In official writing it helps distinguish between materials that are already submitted and those that are still pending.

Usage in practice is most common in government, municipal, organizational, and legal settings. Phrases such as innkomne saker, innkomne forslag, and innkomne høringssvar are routinely found in minutes, agendas, and summaries to indicate items that have been submitted and are available for review. The form is generally neutral in tone and does not imply any judgment about the quality or importance of the submitted material; it simply marks status.

See also terms related to submission and receipt, such as innlevering, innsendt, and mottatt, which appear in similar administrative contexts. While innkomne is most at home in Norwegian bureaucratic language, its use can occur in any setting where it is necessary to describe items that have been received by an organization or authority.
