utstedelige

Utstedelige is a Norwegian adjective used to describe something that can be issued, published, or released by the appropriate authority. It is commonly found in administrative, legal, archival, and bibliographic contexts, where items must meet formal requirements to be made public or officially distributed. The word is formed from the verb utstede, meaning to issue or publish, combined with the suffix -lig, which denotes ability or suitability. The related noun forms are utstedelse (issuance, publishing) and utstedelighet (the quality of being issuable).

Usage and meaning

- In a legal or regulatory setting, a document, license, or certificate may be labeled utstedelig if it complies with applicable rules and can be officially issued.

- In libraries, archives, or publishing, utstedelig can describe material that is approved for public release or for issuance to users.

- The term emphasizes formal authorization and compliance rather than mere potential.

Forms and variants

Usage notes

- Utstedelige is a relatively specialized term and may be uncommon outside professional or bureaucratic language. In everyday Norwegian, speakers often rephrase with expressions like “kan utstedes” (can be issued) or “egnet for publisering” (suitable for publication).
