Swedish Ordinary Passport/ID-card applications adults (over 18 years)

You can book a time within three months. The process of getting the passport is around 2-3 weeks from the day of application. Please be in good time for the appointment, if delayed more than 30 minutes we can’t guarantee that we can receive you.
Please note that all documents must be in original.

1. Make sure that you have a Swedish ID number. You need this to be able to apply for a Swedish passport/National ID-card.
   
   
2. Book an appointment by sending an email to ambassaden.abuja@gov.se
   
   
3. Complete and print the form "Verification of Swedish Citizenship".

4. Bring your current passport. If your current passport has expired you will need to bring a valid Swedish photo ID (national ID/driving license).
   If you don’t have a valid photo ID you need to bring someone to certify your identity when applying for the passport, including a newly taken passport photo. This person must have a valid passport/photo ID. More information about valid photo ID here.
   
   
5. Check with the Swedish Tax Agency that your personal information is correct. Passports and ID-cards will be issued in the name that is registered in the population register. More information is found here on the Swedish Tax Agency's webpage.
   If you need to change your address fill out and bring a printed and signed copy of the form "Ny adress/röstlängd för utvandrad" (only in Swedish).

7. If you have never lived in Sweden, you need to bring a birth certificate containing the names of both your parents.
