You are photographed and fingerprinted

To get an alien’s passports, you must visit us in person to be photographed and fingerprinted. When your application has been registered, you will receive information about when to book an appointment for photography and fingerprinting.

Children must be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian or guardian. If you would prefer to pick up your alien’s passport at a location other than where you will be photographed, please let us know during your visit.

Pick up your new passport

When your passport is ready, you will receive a letter informing you where you will be able to collect it. You will see on My page when your passport is available. You do not need to book an appointment to collect your passport at the National Government Service Centre. If you are collecting your passport at the Swedish Migration Agency, we will send you a booked appointment.
