"BankID is used to quickly and securely identify yourself and access a wide variety of basic services in Sweden, from online shopping checkouts to appointment bookings in the 1177 healthcare service system. The challenge for foreigners in Sweden is that a BankID can only be obtained by opening a bank account and opening a bank account is one of the services usually done via a BankID."
"The new e-ID, Sverige-id, is set to be launched on December 1st this year, and it will be usable within Sweden and in the EU. According to the police, it will be linked to a special ID card, with one card available for Swedish citizens and another for foreign residents in Sweden."
"Sverige-id will only be available to foreigners who are registered in Sweden's population register, which essentially means you will need to have a personal number to use it."
Sweden's Police Agency is developing Sverige-id, a national digital identification and verification service launching December 1st. Both Swedish citizens and registered foreign residents will be eligible. The service addresses a significant challenge for newcomers: accessing BankID, which is essential for online services, healthcare appointments, and shopping but requires a bank account—which typically requires BankID to open. Sverige-id will be usable within Sweden and the EU, linked to special ID cards with separate versions for citizens and foreign residents. Applications occur simultaneously at police-run passport offices. Foreign residents must be registered in Sweden's population register with a personal number to access Sverige-id.
