Residence permitIf you are not a Swedish or Nordic citizen, you need a residence permit to be registered in Sweden. You apply for this abroad from a Swedish embassy or Consulate. Personal identity numberAll those registered in Sweden are given a personal identity number as identification. A person who has been given a number will keep the same number for their whole life. This means that the personal identity number does not change e.g. if you move from or to Sweden. The personal identity number gives the date of birth of the person, a birth number, and a check digit. The only information that can be read from a personal identity number are date of birth and sex. The sex is shown by the second last number in the personal identity number, which is odd for men and even for women. More information about personal identity numbers is available in the brochure ”Personnummer” (Personal Identity Numbers) (SKV 704). Date of birthThe date of birth is given in six digits. The digits are arranged as follows: Year, month, and day of birth. So, a person who has the date of birth 640823 was born on 23 August 1964. Birth numberThe birth number consists of three digits, where the last one is odd for men and even for women. Between the date of birth and the birth number, there is a hyphen (-) which is swapped for a plus sign (+) in the year a person reaches the age of 100. Check digitThe last digit in the personal identity number is a check digit. It is calculated automatically from the date of birth and the birth number.
