If you have fled the war in Ukraine

If you have had a residence permit under the Temporary Protection Directive for at least one year

If you come from Ukraine and have had a residence permit under the Temporary Protection Directive for at least one year, you must notify the Swedish Tax Agency that you have moved to Sweden so that you can be registered in the Swedish Population Register. The Swedish Population Register is a list of everyone registered as a resident of Sweden. Once registered, you will be issued with a personal identity number.

If you are registered in the Swedish Population Register

If you are registered in the Swedish Population Register, you have many of the same rights and obligations as anyone else who lives in Sweden. Certain rights differ depending on when you were registered. You have more rights if you were registered before 1 November 2024.

You can get help at a service centre

At service offices, you can get help and information from the Swedish Tax Agency, Swedish Public Employment Service, Försäkringskassan and Swedish Pensions Agency. The staff at service offices can help you to use the agencies’ e-services, fill in forms and complete applications, as well as providing information about your ongoing cases. At certain service offices, you can also get support from the Swedish Migration Agency.

Staff at service offices speak Swedish and English. If you need help in another language, staff can arrange an interpreter for you.
