Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?

At least one of the applicant's parents must have been a Norwegian citizen at the time of the applicant's birth; this is a condition of the permit, and the official source does not describe a sponsoring reference person or a current status the parent must hold.

What is important for proving marriage, partnership, parentage, custody, dependency or another qualifying relationship?
