For Swedes in Australia

Appointment booking for passport and national ID card applications

To apply for a Swedish passport or national ID card at the Embassy of Sweden in Canberra, you must have a booked appointment. Bookings, changes, and cancellations are made via the Embassy's online booking system.

The information on this page applies only to applications for a Swedish ordinary passport and national ID card. Information on booking an appointment to visit the embassy in other matters can be found here: Contact.

Who can book an appointment?

To book an appointment to apply for a Swedish ordinary passport or national ID card for yourself or your child, the applicant must:

  • Be a Swedish citizen: Information about Swedish citizenship.
  • Have a Swedish identity number: A Swedish personal identity number (personnummer) or a coordination number (samordningsnummer) must have been assigned by the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket). A name registration alone is not sufficient.

The applicant's own personal identity number or coordination number must be provided when making the appointment. If you are waiting to be assigned a coordination number, you can book an appointment for a passport or national ID card application only after the number has been issued.

Important

If you are unable to attend your appointment, or if you no longer need it, please reschedule or cancel it so that the appointment can be made available to someone else.

Book or change an appointment

Appointments for applications for a Swedish ordinary passport or national ID card in Australia are made and managed through the Embassy's online booking system which can be found here: Book, reschedule, or cancel an appointment.

Please note that the applicant's identity number should be entered with twelve digits, meaning the full birth year must be entered (YYYY).

If there are no available appointments

If there are no available appointments in the online booking system, this means that all published appointment slots have already been booked. It is not possible to make an appointment by telephone or email.

New appointment slots are released on a rolling basis and are usually made available approximately 2-3 months in advance. If you are looking for appointments further ahead than this, appointment slots for that period have not yet been released. Please check the booking system again at a later date. Any cancelled appointments automatically become available for new bookings.

The Embassy is unable to provide advance information about when new appointment slots will be released or which appointments will be available.
