Travelling in the EU.

Passport and national ID card.

When you as a Swedish citizen travel within the EU or the Schengen countries Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein, you must always carry your passport or national ID card issued by the police. This is important for you to be able to identify yourself and show in which country you are a citizen. An ordinary ID card or a Swedish driving license is not valid as a travel document.
