Reporting a change of address

Apartment numbers

If you live in an apartment, your listing in the Swedish Population Register must include your apartment number. Your apartment number is part of your address. It consists of four digits that indicate which floor your apartment is on, and where on that floor it is located. You will find your apartment number in the entrance to your apartment building, on your front door, on your mailbox, or in your purchase agreement or rental contract.

If you do not know your apartment number, please contact the owner of the property or your tenant-owner association. You must specify the apartment number listed in the national Apartment Register. Please note that property owners and tenant-owner associations sometimes have their own numbering systems for their apartment lists.

If you have a secure digital mailbox for mail from government agencies, you will receive a message as soon as your address in the population register is changed. This service is free of charge and is a quick and secure way to keep an eye on your address.

In the digital mailbox, you choose whether you want to receive a text message or an email when you have official mail from the Swedish Tax Agency or other authorities.
