Download, print and fill in the form "Verification of Swedish citizenship".
In case of dual citizenship (or more), show a proof of the other citizenship(s), for instance a passport.
If you are a resident and registered in the Netherlands, bring an extract from the population registration (Basisregistratie Personen - BRP), from the Dutch municipality where you are registered. This extract should state your Swedish citizenship. The document must be original and no older than one month. Alternatively, a Dutch residence permit (verblijfsdocument) may be presented.
If you are residing in a country other than Sweden or the Netherlands, a certificate of registration with information on Swedish citizenship must be presented from the country's authority, or a valid residence permit from the country. The certificate may not be older than one month.
