Key Registrations & Procedures
Coordination Number (Samordningsnummer)
Deadline: For stays under 1 year: employer applies for this on your behalf
Processing Time: 2–6 weeks
Fees: Free
Appointment: Employer handles application. You may need to visit Skatteverket for identity verification.
Required Documents:
- Valid passport
- Employer application (employer submits to Skatteverket)
- Employment contract
Where to Do It:
Employer applies to Skatteverket. You may be asked to visit a Skatteverket office to verify your identity in person (bring passport).
If You Don't Do It:
May not be able to be paid or taxed correctly without it. A coordination number has limitations compared to personnummer — you may not be able to get BankID, which makes daily life significantly harder.
Regional Variations: Same nationwide.
