PublishedEditorial policy

Sweden will introduce SverigeID, a new government-issued electronic ID for registered non-citizen residents, starting December 1, 2026. This alternative to BankID will provide access to essential government services, banks, and other organizations, simplifying digital life for expats.

Key takeaways

  • From December 1, 2026, non-citizens can apply for SverigeID, a state-issued electronic ID replacing BankID.
  • SverigeID grants access to government services, banks, and private organizations, previously inaccessible without Swedish citizenship.
  • This practical step simplifies taxes, interactions with Migrationsverket, and daily online operations for expats.

SverigeID: A New Digital Identity for Non-Citizens in Sweden

Starting December 1, 2026, registered residents of Sweden who do not hold Swedish citizenship will be able to apply for SverigeID. This new government-issued electronic identification is set to replace BankID as the primary method for proving identity online. Previously, obtaining a BankID without a Swedish passport or citizenship was often difficult or impossible, a gap that SverigeID aims to close.

With SverigeID, non-citizens will gain access to a wide range of government services, banks, and other organizations that require an electronic signature or identity verification. This development will significantly simplify daily life, enabling easier payment of taxes, inquiries with the Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket), and opening bank accounts, all through a single, reliable digital tool. This eliminates the need for workarounds or relying on citizens for assistance.

For expats and those relocating to Sweden, SverigeID represents a crucial step towards smoother integration into the Swedish system. It addresses the challenge of being a registered resident without full access to essential digital services, acknowledging and formalizing your place within the system, even with a foreign passport.
