First-time Passport Application for Child

Child applicants under 18 who have never previously had a Swedish passport must first apply for and obtain a coordination number. This application must be filed at the Swedish Embassy. Once the coordination number has been obtained, the child applicant must be accompanied by a legal guardian and bring the following when applying for a new passport:
  • Written consent of both parents, on a separate authorization form (RPS 531.2) and signed prior to visiting the embassy.

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

  • Child's original birth certificate, preferably in English (if in Japanese you can make your own translation and get this certified by the Embassy to a cost of JPY 1500 – usually done when applying for coordination number) clearly stating the names of both parents, or notarized copy thereof.

  • Copy of legal guardians' marriage certificate, if married, or an extract from the Swedish Population Register (personbevis) stating the marriage.

  • Passports (or other valid photo ID with clearly visible signature) of both legal guardians, or notarized copy thereof.

  • Application fee of JPY 18,000 in cash.

Do not bring passport photos.  As part of new procedures introduced in 2007, all applicants are digitally photographed on site at the time of the application.

The Embassy is open to passport customers Monday-Friday 09.00-12.00. If you are unable to get here in the morning, please call to make an appointment.

The new passport has to be picked up in person at the Embassy.

The new passport may also be picked up at any Swedish honorary consulate in Japan. For pickup of the new passport at a consular location, there is delivery fee of JPY 900 and postal fee of JPY 560.
