The Tax Agency's ID card also contains electronic identification (e-legitimation). Electronic identification can be compared with a traditional ID document, such as an ID card or driving licence. Electronic identification can be used to securely prove your identity over the internet.
The requirements for obtaining Swedish e-identification issued by Svenska Pass are outlined here:
A letter containing a PUK code will be sent home to you, and you will select a personal code (PIN) when you log in for the first time.
If you have an ID card with e-ID from Svenska Pass and have lost your PIN code, you can order a new PUK code from Skatteverket. If you happen, however, to block your PUK code, you will have to apply for a new ID card, because a PUK code cannot be replaced.
Request new codes by calling our tax information service:
In order to be able to use your e-ID from Svenska Pass, which is carried by your ID card, you need a computer and a card reader. When you use your e-ID for the first time, or if you use a new browser, you will need to install the SConnect Browser Plug-in on your browser.
