Hi,

I'm due to begin my trip next week but I'm just worried about the residency status. I'm a British citizen, but I have been living in Norway since August 2008, working full time. I have put Norway as my country of residence on my interrail ticket. I know it shouldn't be a problem in most countries and I only plan to take one train in Britain, but I wondered if the ticket inspectors are likely to check for proof of residency? In this case, what kind of proof can I present them with? I obviously have my British passport, but that doesn't tally with the residency on my ticket.

If I take a copy of my employment offer/contract, plus a recent wage slip with my name and address, will that be sufficient proof that I am living in Norway and have been for more than 6 months?!

Thanks for your help,
Emily

Hi.
Officially it says: You can prove your current address by showing governmental certificates, bank receipts, telephone bills or student visa.

At an other place the official words are like this:
You can prove your current address by showing governmental certificates, bank receipts, telephone bills or student visa. One of these documents should mention your address, and a date of longer than 6 months ago.

I hope this answer is helping you - and if you like the railcc project, support it with your ticket purchase in our partner:

Thank you! :)
