Special postal address

Register a special postal address with the Swedish Tax Agency if you want your mail to be delivered to an address other than your address in the population register for a period of at least six months. This applies both in Sweden and abroad. It does not cost anything to register a special postal address.

A special postal address is a complement to your address in the population register. There is thus no change to your population registration.

Registering or terminating a special postal address

You can use the e-service Särskild postadress to report a special postal address in Sweden or abroad. Register the address in advance, but not more than one month before the special postal address is to take effect. You can also use the e-service to terminate a special postal address.

Your mail reaches the correct address

The special postal address is automatically distributed to the majority of government agencies and other companies that obtain information from the population register.

However, you may also need to inform private individuals, associations and organisations of which you a member of, magazines you subscribe to and companies you want to be sure have your special address.

Mail forwarding

Forwarding means that mail sent to your address in the population register is forwarded to your special address. If you want your mail to be forwarded, you can order this paid service from Svensk Adressändring AB.
