The Norwegian health authorities recommend that women over 25 years old receive a pap smear every three years. For women in this age range (25 to 69 years old) who have not received a pap smear in the last three years, or for women who have not taken a repeat test after cell changes, it's common to receive a letter from the Cancer Registry, which runs NCCSP, to inform that they should take a pap smear test. | |||

* To arrange for a gynecological exam or pap smear test, you can make an appointment with a General practitioner (GP) or a gynecologist. If you would like to go to a gynecologist, you will first need a referral from GP.<ref>[https://www.kreftregisteret.no/en/screening/Cervical-Cancer-Screening-Programme/Frequently-asked-questions1/The-PAP-test/ Cancer Registry of Norway: The Pap Test]</ref> | |||
* Following your pap smear test, your doctor will usually receive the results within two weeks, and the Cancer Registry of Norway receives the results within a month. In some cases, women may receive letters from the Cancer Registry if the results are not registered at the Registry when the letters from laboratories are sent. Finally, the patient will receive the results of the pap smear test from their doctor.<ref>[https://www.kreftregisteret.no/en/screening/Cervical-Cancer-Screening-Programme/Frequently-asked-questions1/The-PAP-test/ Cancer Registry of Norway: The Pap Test]</ref> | |||
