The correct order for dates in Norwegian is day, month, year. The day is represented by an ordinal number, and there is no capital letter for the month:

første september tjuetretten / 1. september 2013
first September twenty thirteen


The year 2013 can be read as tjuetretten (twenty thirteen) or as totusenogtretten (two thousand and thirteen).

There should not be any preposition in front of a date:

Bens mor er født første september nittenførtiåtte (1.9.1948).
Ben's mother is born on the first of September nineteen fourty-eight.
Cecilie sender en pakke tiende august.
Cecilie sends a package on the tenth of August.


Different combinations of digits can be found. The periods used as separators also indicate that the preceding numbers are ordinals:

1.9.13 / 1.9.2013 / 01.09.2013 
 		 (den) første i niende tjuetretten
(the) first in ninth twenty thirteen


Even written in digits, dates still can be read as første september tjuetretten. The definite article den is optional.
