A child born after 2001 and before 1st April 2015 can become a Swedish citizen, if one of the parents was a Swedish citizen at the time of the birth. Kindly read more about this on the Swedish Migration Agency’s website: Automatic citizenship through birth, adoption or the parents’ marriage - Migrationsverket

For the Embassy to be able to acquire a coordination number the following must be submitted in original:

1. Passport/ID for the mother and the father (should one of the two not be present a certified copy, validated by the Swedish police needs to be brought).
2. Birth certificate (long slip from NIRA).
3. Discharge form from the hospital.
4. Marriage certificate (traditional/customary marriages not valid), the certificate should be registered with the URSB.
5. If parents are not married, a court order stating the paternity (not custody) is required.
6. One recently taken passport photo of the child.
