I would like to obtain a copy of my great grandfather's (Carl Olaf Olsen) birth certificate. The main reason is so I can find out who his birth father was. He took on his stepfathers surname, Steffensen in Australia before moving to New Zealand. His mother is Caroline Eliza Carlsen.
He was born in Oslo in 1877. Unfortunately have not been able to find out what his exact birth date is but could estimate down to a month.
Who should I contact?
What is the normal cost for obtaining a birth certificate?

Hi Norway did not have birth certificates in the 1800's All births deaths, marriages etc were recorded in the Kirkebøker, parish records. The LDS has these on microfilm available for rent . There are locations all over the world so hopefully one near you. Click Here
This site has a lot of useful information on Norwegian genealogy Click Here

I need to obtain my birth certificate from Norway. I was born in Floro, Norway. I now live in USA. How do I get one? It
seems to be difficult to get one. I LIKE TO go online to get it but it is written in Norweigian. I cannot read it. Need to be
in English and also I am deaf cannot do telephone to call. Where would I get the birth Certificate?? I do have Citzenship paper
here.

A Norwegian birth certificate ("fødselsattest") is issued by the local tax office. It will contain information about your name, d.o.b., ssn, sex, place of birth and eventually name of parents.
A birth certificate will only be issued upon request from the person in question; and requested by phone or personal visit to the local tax office. The certificate will then be sent per mail to your registered address.
I suggest you contact the tax office in question per email; Skatt Vest avd. Florø flora.lk@skatteetaten.no

You are right Jan Peter.
I was thinking on the Baptism Certificate.
