You are photographed and fingerprinted

To get an emergency alien’s passport, you must visit us in person to be photographed and fingerprinted. You will receive information from the Swedish Migration Agency on how and when you should carry out the personal visit. 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

If you have had your photograph and fingerprints taken at the National Government Service Centre, you can collect your emergency alien's passport at the same office, unless otherwise agreed. If you are collecting your passport from the National Government Service Centre, you do not need to book an appointment before collecting it.

If you are collecting your passport from the Swedish Migration Agency, you will receive information on how to do so.
