How to ensure your mail is delivered to the correct address

We will notify other public authorities of your new address

When the Swedish Tax Agency receives your notification, we will notify many public, municipal and regional authorities of your new address, including:

• the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (“Försäkringskassan”)
  
• the Swedish Migration Agency (“Migrationsverket”)
  
• the Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority (“Lantmäteriet”)
  
• the Swedish Transport Agency (“Transportstyrelsen”)
  
• the Swedish Board of Student Finance (“Centrala studiestödsnämnden”, CSN)
  
• the Swedish Pensions Agency (“Pensionsmyndigheten”)
  
• the Swedish Public Employment Service (“Arbetsförmedlingen”)

Major banks, insurance companies and businesses can also access your new address details via the Swedish state personal address register (SPAR).

However, you may need to notify membership organisations, publication subscription services and companies from which you wish to receive mail. You must notify private individuals of your new address yourself.

Is someone else going to take delivery of your mail?

If someone else is going to take delivery of your mail for a longer period, you can register a special postal address via our e-service:

Mail redirection

If you have your mail redirected, all post addressed to your previous address will be forwarded to your new address. However, mail redirection will not change your listed address in the Swedish Population Register. You can request mail redirection from the Swedish change of address service (“Svensk Adressändring”) for a fee. Your mail will be forwarded for a specified period, usually one year.

Is your name on your front door?

To help ensure that your mail gets to you, you should have your name on your front door and on your mailbox – even if you are a lodger or subletting a property.

You should not write “care of” (c/o) when you notify us of a change of address since we do not list c/o addresses in the Swedish Population Register.

You can register a c/o (“care of”) special postal address if you want someone else to receive your mail.
