Swedish Personal Identity Number
A Swedish personal identity number can only be obtained if you' have a residence permit valid in Sweden for 12 months or longer. EU citizens need to prove they will be in Sweden for more than 365 days.
Apply for a Swedish personal identity number
You apply for the Swedish Personal Identity Number through the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) once you arrive in Sweden.
Please note that you need to book an appointment and to fill in the application form before your appointment at Skatteverket.
You will find the application form here.
