03The paperwork

Sweden runs on one number, and you get it by registering

Banks, BankID and most services ask for your personnummer, and it comes with your registration at the Skatteverket. The Skatteverket quotes about five weeks before an officer takes your file.

04How Hello Expat helps

From arrival to personnummer, in order

Hello Expat puts the steps in order and tells you what to bring. Moovy, your personal assistant, answers when the Skatteverket's wording gets confusing.

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Register your move online

    File the Flytta till Sverige form, available in English, up to 14 days before you move. Each family member files their own.

    Source: Skatteverket

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Book your identity check

    After you arrive, book an in-person check at a state service centre (statligt servicecenter) and take your original passport or ID card.

    Source: Skatteverket

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Receive your personnummer

    It is issued when you are registered, so there is nothing else to apply for. Staying less than a year? Ask for a samordningsnummer instead.

Example conversation

You

I'm moving to Sweden for eight months for work. Can I get a personnummer?

Moovy

Probably not. A personnummer comes with registration in the population register, and that is for stays of at least a year. For eight months you can ask the Skatteverket for a samordningsnummer, a coordination number, if you can show you need it, for a job for example. You book an identity check in person first. The Skatteverket quotes up to five weeks before an officer takes your case, so start early. Check your own case on their site: the rules depend on your nationality.

06What's inside

    Encrypted

    A vault for your papers

    Your documents are encrypted before they are stored, with a different key for each document, kept apart from our servers. Nobody on the team has a tool to open them. Moovy reads each document you add to file it, and every reading appears in your log. You can delete everything whenever you like.

    When Moovy reads a document, the text is processed by our AI provider, in the United States.

  • Tell us once

    A short questionnaire after sign-up fills in My situation for you. Moovy uses it from your first message.
