tilladelsen

Tilladelsen is a noun used in Danish and Norwegian to denote an official authorization granted by a competent authority to perform a specific act or activity. It derives from the verb tillade, meaning to allow, with the suffix -else forming a noun that denotes the act or state of allowing.

In administrative and civil law, a tilladelse is typically required for activities that are regulated or considered potentially risky. It is issued by national or local authorities and usually carries conditions, time limits, geographic scope, and reporting requirements. The decision is normally communicated in writing and can often be appealed or reviewed, depending on the jurisdiction.

The concept covers a wide range of domains. Common examples include building permits (byggetilladelse), residence permits (oppholdstillatelse), work permits (arbeidstillatelse or arbeidstillatelse), and permissions to use or access resources or services (such as fishing permits or broadcasting permissions). The precise criteria and procedures vary by country and by domain, but the typical process involves an application, payment of fees, and, in some cases, inspections or safety checks.

Relation to related terms may vary by context. A tilladelse is generally an authorization rather than an inherent right, and it can be revoked or amended for non-compliance. In practice, it functions alongside other regulatory instruments such as licenses and permits, within the framework of public administration and law.
