kunngjøringen

Kunngjøringen is a Norwegian term for a public announcement or publication, especially of official acts such as laws, regulations, decrees, or administrative notices. It refers both to the act of making something known publicly and to the document that results from that act when it is published.

In legal and administrative practice, kunngjøringen serves to give information formal effect through public disclosure. It is typically issued through an official gazette, government website, or widely circulated publication, ensuring that the information reaches the public and stakeholders.

The word is derived from the verb kunngjøre, meaning to announce or publish. Kunngjøring is the general noun, and kunngjøringen is the definite form used when referring to a specific announcement. Related terms include offentliggjøring (public disclosure) and kunngjørelse in related Scandinavian languages, which encompass similar concepts of making information publicly known.

Kunngjøringen is a common feature in governmental and civil administration, used for the publication of new laws, amendments, regulatory decisions, and other official notices that, by public announcement, become part of the legal or administrative record.
