You apply and book an appointment
E-service:
If you apply via the e-service, you can book an appointment to be fingerprinted and photographed in the e-service. Please note that there is no e-service for emergency alien’s passports.
Paper form:
If you apply using a paper form, fill in the form, assemble the necessary documents, and book an appointment to submit your application at one of our service centres. You must book an appointment for each person, and each person must submit their own application form.
You are photographed and fingerprinted
Once you have submitted your application in the e-service, you must come to one of the Swedish Migration Agency’s service centres to be photographed and fingerprinted. If you apply using a paper form, you will be photographed and fingerprinted when you submit your application. Children must be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian or guardian. If you would prefer to pick up your alien’s passport or travel document at another location, please let us know during your visit.
The Swedish Migration Agency processes the application
The Swedish Migration Agency reviews all the information in your application. We will contact you if we need more information.
Keep in mind that we cannot start processing your application until you have paid the fee. The payment process is different if you have applied for a travel document. In that case, you only pay the fee when you pick up the travel document.
You receive our decision
Once our decision is ready, we will send it to you by post. For alien’s passports and travel documents, it can then take up to 14 days before you can collect your passport. We will send you a letter when it is time to pick it up. If you applied for an emergency alien’s passport, our decision will provide information about when you can collect it.
Make an appointment to pick up your new passport
If you are granted an alien’s passport, emergency alien’s passport, or travel document, you must book an appointment to collect the passport before you visit the Swedish Migration Agency.
