When do I need a population registration certificate?

You only need to order a population registration certificate when someone requests a population registration certificate from you.

The Swedish Tax Agency shares the information concerning you in the population register with other authorities and private companies, for example banks. This means that you do not need to personally notify these bodies that you have moved or changed name. The notification is instead sent automatically.

Co-ordination number

Those who have a co-ordination number cannot order a population registration certificate. Call us on 0771-567 567 and order an extract showing that you have been assigned a co-ordination number which you can present instead.

Protected personal data

If you or someone in your family has protected personal data, you can download or print out a population registration certificate via our e-service or call the Tax Agency on 0771-567 567 and ask to speak to a case officer.

The population registration certificate is not a form of identification

It is important to remember that a population registration certificate cannot be used to prove your identity. It is only an extract that shows what is registered in the population register.
