Do not bring passport photos. As part of the new procedures introduced in 2007, all applicants are digitally photographed on site at the time of the application.
The new passport is normally ready 1-2 weeks from the time of application. The passport must be picked up in person and may not be delivered by mail.
The new passport may be picked up at any Swedish consulate in the United States. For pickup of the new passport at a consular location other than the one at which the application was submitted, there is a shipping fee of $17 (payable at time of application) and an additional processing fee of $10 (payable at time of pick-up).
