War and displacement bring with them an increased risk of people being exploited in prostitution and human trafficking. Women and children are at particularly high risk when families are separated as a result of war. New international support material has therefore been produced to support Swedish and foreign diplomatic missions in their efforts to combat human trafficking.

Applying for a passport for a Swedish Citizen born in Iraq is done in two steps. You will need to visit the Embassy twice for the application and then once to pick up the passport.
Step 1:
Firstly the family visits the Embassy in Baghdad to present the child and the supporting documents needed to request a Co-ordination number from the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket).
Send a message to the embassy to book an appointment. You will be told what documents you need to prepare.
Step 2:
After you have received the Co-ordination number, you book an appointment to complete the passport application at the Embassy. It usually takes about 4-8 weeks for the Tax Agency to issue the co-ordination number.
