You apply for your child in the e-service using your e-identification. If you have multiple children, you can submit multiple applications, but keep in mind that you must complete and submit the application for each person before you can log in again to submit a new application for someone else.

If your child has two parents/legal guardians in Sweden, the other parent/legal guardian must give their consent by signing the form:

Confirmation of application for residence permit for child (207011) Pdf, 1.1 MB.

Attach the form in the e-service when you submit the child’s application. You must fill in and upload one form for each child.

If you need to attach documents, you can do so in the e-service when you apply. If you submit the application without uploading the required documents for the application, you must send the missing documents to the Swedish Migration Agency by post within two weeks.

When we examine your application, we will make a decision based on the information we have received.

Send your documents to:

Migrationsverket
Box 3100
903 03 Umeå

Yes, children without a parent/legal guardian in Sweden can apply for themselves in the e-service if they have an e-ID. The Swedish Migration Agency will then contact the child’s guardian or specially appointed legal guardian to have the application confirmed. If the child does not have an e-ID, their guardian can submit an application for the child by post.

No, a representative cannot use the e-service to apply for you. Anyone applying for a residence permit must log in with their own e-identification. Parents/legal guardians can log in using their e-ID(s) and apply for a residence permit extension for their child(ren) who are under the age of 18.

If a representative is assisting you with your application, you must submit the application by post and attach a written power of attorney.
