Category:Coats of arms of Norway

Norwegian public coats of arms have special protection by Norwegian law. In general they may only be used in official duties by offices of state, counties and municipalities. In such use they must be placed at the top of the page on which they are printed.

However, Norwegian coats of arms may also be used for purposes of information, such as in an encyclopedia, and need to be marked as {{Norwegian coat of arms}}. See Commons:Deletion requests/Archives02#Image:Steinkjer komm.png for a discussion establishing that they can be kept on the Commons. See Category:PD Coa Norway for the corresponding license category.
