ID card application conditions
To apply for an ID card, you must be registered as living in Sweden, be over the age of 13 and be able to demonstrate who you are (prove your identity). If you are under the age of 18, you must have permission from your legal guardian(s). The application fee is SEK 400. The fee has to be paid before you apply for an ID card.
You can also apply for the card, even if you or your attestor have a protected identity. If this is the case, contact your case officer before you apply.
You cannot use the Tax Agency ID card instead of a passport when you travel overseas. The Tax Agency ID card is only valid in Sweden. Contact the Swedish Police if you want to apply for a national ID card.
Not all Tax Agency offices issue ID cards
You must visit one of our offices in person to be able to apply for an ID card. Only certain offices issue ID cards. If you want to apply for an ID card you have to make an appointment in advance.
