Registration is one of the most important practical steps for many international residents in Sweden.
Depending on your situation, you may need to deal with:
- Skatteverket
- population registration
- personnummer
- coordination number
- address registration
- ID documents
- tax registration
- residence status or right of residence

If you plan to live in Sweden for a longer period, check the official rules early. Requirements can depend on citizenship, work, studies, family situation, residence permit, right of residence and expected length of stay.
Keep documents organised:
- passport or national ID card
- residence permit card if applicable
- work contract
- study admission documents
- rental contract
- marriage or family documents if relevant
- insurance documents
- letters from authorities
