Residence permit cards
Those who are granted residence permits in Sweden receive a residence permit card (UT card).
Starting from 20 May 2011, stickers will be replaced with a residence permit card.
Have you been waiting a long time to receive your card? The reason may be that the UT card has been returned to the Migration Board due to an incorrect address.
The card will contain photo, fingerprints of two fingers and an electronic signature. Note that the card is not an ID-card or a travel document, and must be used in combination with a valid passport when traveling across national borders.
Holders of residence permit stickers that are valid after 20 May do not need to exchange these. The stickers are valid until the date of expiry, all though no longer than 20 May 2015. If you want a UT-card you will need to visit the Swedish Migration Board to be fingerprinted and photographed.
