Swedish Citizenship

Citizenship is a legally binding undertaking between a state and an individual (citizen) that commences either automatically at birth or through an application or notification process.

Only Swedish citizens are allowed to carry Swedish passports.  A Swedish citizen has the unconditional right to live and stay in Sweden.

You can become a Swedish citizen through:

  • birth
  • adoption
  • legitimization (marriage of parents)
  • application (naturalization)
  • notification (children, young adults aged 18-20, and Nordic citizens)

Child passport applicants who were born abroad and have never previously had a Swedish passport must first be added to the Swedish population register by applying for a coordination number.

Detailed information about all laws and regulations is available at the Swedish Migration Board website.
