Reporting a change of address for a child

This is how to report a change of address for the child:

• If you are registered at the same address as the child, you can use our “Report a change of address” (“Flyttanmälan”) e-service.
• Notify the child's other legal guardian that they must log in to our “Give consent” (“Lämna samtycke”) e-service and click on "Yes" or "No". If the legal guardian who did not report the move has a digital mailbox, they will be notified by the Swedish Tax Agency that they need to respond to a consent request.

If you are not registered at the same address as the child, you must submit a change of address notification using a printed form. The other legal guardian must also give their consent by signing the form.

To report a change of address:

• Use our “Report a change of address” (“Flyttanmälan”) e-service.
• If you cannot use this e-service, you can submit your notification using a printed form instead.

A child's legal guardians must give consent in response to a change of address notification if a child moves to an address at which neither of their legal guardians is registered. If the child has two legal guardians, both must give their consent.

This rule applies if the child moves to a foster home, for example. In this case, you must provide contact details relating to the foster home in the change of address notification.

Before updating the details registered in the Swedish Population Register, the Swedish Tax Agency will check the reason for the child's move without their legal guardian(s).

If the child's other legal guardian submits a notification via our “Report a change of address” (“Flyttanmälan”) e-service, you will be given the opportunity to provide your consent via our “Give consent” (“Lämna samtycke”) e-service. You need eID to use this e-service.

Please respond to the consent request as soon as possible. After seven days, it will no longer be possible to respond via the e-service.

If we do not received a response within this time, the Swedish Tax Agency will send a consent request by post once a case administrator has processed the matter.

The Swedish Tax Agency will then reject your change of address notification and start an investigation to determine where your child should be registered. We will ask both of the child's legal guardians where the child sleeps, and where they attend school or preschool.

The child's guardians are first entitled to any information that might influence the Swedish Tax Agency's decision. We will then reach a decision based on this information.

Do not submit a new notification. Either you or the child's other legal guardian should contact the Swedish Tax Agency or your case administrator directly.

• Contact us

No, submitting another notification might delay the process. The Swedish Tax Agency will contact you when we have started processing your case.

To use the change of address e-service, you and your child must both be registered at the same address. If you and your child are not registered at the same address, you must submit a notification for both of you using a printed form.

• Notification – Moving within Sweden (SKV 7845, in Swedish)

No. You will only have consented to a change in the child’s population registration details.

When we register a child’s new address, we provide the relevant details to other government agencies including the following, for example:

• 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 (CSN)
• the Swedish Pensions Agency (“Pensionsmyndigheten”)

We also provide major banks, insurance companies and other businesses with the new address details.

You may need to inform private individuals and membership associations and organisations of the child's new address. The same applies to publication subscription services and companies that may require the child's new address details.
