6: Which documents are needed when applying for a coordination number (samordningsnummer)?

A Swedish coordination number corresponds to the Swedish personal identity number but given to children who are born abroad. The application can be made by visiting the embassy or consulate. The child and at least one parent must be present at the time of application. The Swedish coordination number is free of charge and the processing time is approximately 4 weeks. 

NB: The Embassy can order coordination numbers for Swedish citizens only if you intend to also apply for a passport via the Embassy. If you are planning to apply for a passport in Sweden, you should also apply for the coordination number in Sweden through the Swedish Police.

You need the following documents in original:

• Form SKV 7750 from the Swedish Tax Agency
• Both parents' passports
• The child's Austrian "Meldebestätigung", or similar document showing where the child is registered (not older than three months)
• The child's international birth certificate
• Austrian Mutter-Kind-Pass/Childbirth or Pregnancy Certificate
• Marriage certificate, or paternity confirmation if the parents were unmarried at the time of birth
• Form "Verification of Swedish Citizenship"
• If the child has a passport from another country.
