While in Norway, you may need to fill in your personal details in some forms whether you apply for a bank account or a tax certificate or a change of address. Quite often the forms may be in Norwegian (unless you are lucky to get an English version). So it’s quite useful to know some of the common terms used in the forms.
A form is known as skjema in Norwegian. And personalia means personal details.
