Swedish Passport & National ID Card– Official Application Guide

A Swedish passport and national ID card are official government-issued documents available only to Swedish citizens. Applications must be completed in person at designated Police Passport Offices within Sweden, following the procedures set by Swedish authorities.

Who Can Apply:

Swedish citizens aged 18 years or older living in Sweden may apply independently. Applicants under 18 years of age must provide written consent from all legal guardians and attend the application appointment in person.

Where to Apply:

All applications for passports and national ID cards must be submitted in person at a Swedish Police Passport Office. This requirement applies to adults, children, and adolescents alike.

Documents Required:

When attending your appointment, you must bring:

• A valid form of identification (such as a current Swedish passport or national ID card)

• Your previous passport, if still valid

• Any required guardian consent forms for minors

Photographs are taken on-site at the passport office, so no external photos are needed.

Identification Requirements: 

Accepted forms of identification include:

• Valid Swedish passport

• Swedish national ID card

• Swedish driver’s license

• SIS-approved ID card or ID issued by a government authority

If no valid ID is available, a close family member or legal guardian with valid identification may confirm your identity in person.

Application Fees:

Fees are paid at the time of application:

• Passport: SEK 350

• National ID Card: SEK 400

• Provisional (temporary) passport: SEK 980

Most passport offices accept card payments.

Booking an Appointment:

Appointments must be booked in advance. New appointment slots are released regularly, and applicants are advised to check availability frequently through official booking systems.

Processing & Collection:

Passports and national ID cards are typically ready within five working days. Collection must be done in person at the same passport office, and applicants must bring their receipt.

Provisional Passports:

A provisional passport is issued only for urgent travel. Applicants must confirm:

• Travel dates

• Destination country acceptance of provisional passports

Not all passport offices issue provisional passports. Minors must be accompanied by a guardian.

Lost or Stolen Documents:

If your passport or national ID card is lost or stolen:

• Report it immediately to the police

• The document will be blocked for security reasons

• A new application must be submitted

If a lost document is later found, it must be handed in for cancellation and must not be used again.

While Abroad:

If your passport or national ID card is lost while outside Sweden, contact the nearest Swedish embassy or consulate for assistance.
