The songwriter's official Twitter and Facebook accounts published brief mentions of the award.
Barack Obama took the time to congratulate Dylan, writing on Twitter that the Nobel was "well-deserved".
Bob Dylan's continued silence over his Nobel Prize for Literature is "impolite and arrogant", according to a member of the panel that awarded him the honour.
Also, the singer-songwriter was a surprise choice for the award, which credits Dylan for "new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition".
According to the Swedish Academy, it has failed to speak to the 75-year-old since it made the announcement on 13 October.
Academy member Per Wastberg said Dylan's lack of reaction to the award was predictable but disrespectful.
"One can say that it is impolite and arrogant," he told Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter.
"He is who he is."
A short mention of the honour was posted on Dylan's website almost a week after the announcement, but it was later removed.
