It's a little unclear to me what the current status is: apparently it's valid for the National (Tax etc) Portal (altinn.no - literal translation: (hand)ineverything.no)). The basic idea was that the Postal service already allow the sending/delivery of registered letters -- so why not just use that for validating the ID. These days mail is largely handled by supermarkets -- and my impression is that the ID check isn't as reliable as it used to be when the postal service operated as a government monopoly.
Anyway, AFAIK, it's still the closest thing we have to working, secure digital ID in Norway.
