A population registration certificate is not proof of identity

It is important to remember that a population registration certificate cannot be used to prove your identity. It is only an extract that shows the details listed in the Swedish Population Register.

You must be over 16 years old to print out a population registration certificate. Those who are under 16 cannot therefore use the e-service.

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.
