P-tal and Registration

In this self service you can apply for access to non-public records from the Faroese National Archives.

A registry of the hereditary relationships among the Faroese. The Multi-generation Register contains information regarding Faroese genealogy from app. year 1650 to date. App. 149.000 people are listed in the register.

In the Genealogy Registry, you are able to see an overview of your ancestors, going back in a direct line. The name of the persons will only appear when the person is over 100 years.

Skalt tú skjalprógva títt p-tal, kanst tú fáa eina p-tals váttan. Tú kanst taka hana niður ella biðja um eitt frumrit, sum verður sent til tín við vanligum posti.

If your child does not have a Faroese P-number, you can apply for a TK-number, which can be used in the BARN system until the P-number is attained.
