First-time Passport Application for Child

Applicants who were born outside of Sweden and have never before had a Swedish passport must first be added to the Swedish population register by applying for a coordination number.

This application can be filed at all Swedish Consulates in Canada. Instructions for how to obtain a coordination number can be found under Contents on the right hand side of this page.

Once the coordination number (samordningsnummer) has been obtained and the child has been added to the population register, you can apply for a passport at the Embassy of Sweden in Ottawa. 

The child must be accompanied by a legal guardian and bring the following when applying for a new passport:

Note all documents must be presented in the original at the time of application.

  if legal custody has been granted to one parent or to another person, legal proof of guardianship must be submitted with the application.
