To apply for an Emergency Passport in Arizona please bring the following documents with you to your appointment:

  • Old passport
  • Proof of legal US residence status (ie: green card)
  • Valid photo ID (ie: driver's license)
  • If your passport has been expired more than 6 months, you need a current copy of your personbevis. You must get this from Skatteverket in Sweden. Please contact them either online at www.skatteverket.se or by phone 011 46 8 564851 60
  • Two passport photos (you can get these at any Walgreens or CVS)
  • Passport fee of $190 (this must be paid in either cash with correct change or moneyorder/certified bank check)
  • Travel itinerary including arrival and departure dates and locations

We then send the application to the Consulate in San Francisco which issues the Emergency Passport. You can pick it up in San Francisco or have it sent to the Phoenix Consulate (or any other Swedish Consulate.)

If the applicant is a minor:

  • Written consent of both legal guardians.
  • If legal custody has been granted to one parent or to another person, legal proof of guardianship must be submitted with the application.

Multiple Passports

Persons who are citizens of both Sweden and the United States should carry both passports when traveling between the two countries. The United States Department of State requires that all US citizens, including those who have dual citizenship, must be in possession of a valid US passport when leaving or entering the US.

 

Swedish citizens are expected to declare their nationality and to present a valid Swedish passport upon arrival in Sweden and/or the European Union.

 

Renewal of Swedish Driver's License

Your Swedish driver's license must be renewed every ten years. You must also replace your driver's license if it has been damaged, lost, or if personal information on it has changed. Unfortunately it is no longer possible to renew your Swedish Drivers License in Arizona. As of May 1 2017, holders of Swedish driver’s licenses will not be able to renewtheir license if they do not permanently reside in Sweden. More information on the change can be found HERE.

Retention of Swedish Citizenship

Must be filed between ages of 20-21 for those who are born or living abroad. You may call or email us for more information.

Application for Coordination Number and Registration of Name

Child applicants who were born abroad and have never before had a Swedish passport must first be added to the Swedish population register by applying for a coordination number.

The application is free of charge and must be filed in person at all Swedish consulates in the US and at the Embassy in Washington. The child must be accompanied by at least one legal guardian.
 

The following documents are required:

  • Name registration form (SKV 7750) signed by both legal guardians and by the applicant, if she or he is 12 or older.

If legal custody has been granted to one parent or to another person, legal proof of guardianship must be submitted with the application.

  • Child's original birth certificate, issued by the state's Vital Records Office and clearly stating the names of both parents, or notarized copy thereof.
  • Passports (or other valid photo ID with clearly visible signature) of both legal guardians, or notarized copy thereof.
  • Original documentation proving legal U.S. resident status (valid visa or green card) or U.S. citizenship (naturalization certificate) of Swedish legal guardian(s), or notarized copy of same.

If the legal guardian(s) gained U.S. citizenship before July 1, 2001, documentation from the Swedish Migration Board must be provided to certify that he and/or she has regained Swedish citizenship.

  • Copy of legal guardians' marriage certificate, if married.

Once the coordination number has been obtained and the child has been added to the population register, the child applicant can proceed with a passport application.
