Decla­ra­tion of citi­zenship

Is it unclear whether you are a Swedish citizen? If so, you may apply for a written declaration of citizenship that shows whether you are a Swedish citizen.

If you don’t know if you have received or lost Swedish citizenship, you can apply for a declaration of citizenship. It may be unclear, for example, if:

• you became a Swedish citizen at birth
• you lost your Swedish citizenship because you were born abroad and have never lived in Sweden
• you lost your Swedish citizenship when you obtained a different citizenship.
