A provisional passport may be issued if your regular passport has been lost or stolen and you need to travel urgently.
A provisional passport has limited validity, is not machine-readable, and is issued in A4 paper format. It is intended for immediate travel (within two to three days) and is only valid for a single journey either to Sweden or to your country of residence.
It is your responsibility to check whether the countries you are travelling to, or transiting through, accept a Swedish provisional passport issued in A4 format. This can be done, for example, by contacting the embassy of the country concerned in London or by consulting a travel agency.
Your travel booking confirmation or e-ticket must be presented when you submit your application.
If you live in Scotland, you may also apply for a provisional passport at the Honorary Consulate in Edinburgh.
