3.2.3 Identity cards

Identity cards are issued to all resident staff at diplomatic missions, career consular posts and international organisations, as well as to family members who form part of their household and to private servants. Identity cards are not issued to family members with Swedish citizenship or to children under 6 years of age.

Identity cards are valid for a maximum of three years. They may not be issued for a validity period shorter than six months.

Holders of identity cards are expected to carry their cards with them to verify their identity and their registration with the Protocol Department upon request.

Please observe that identity cards are only issued to personnel posted/residing in Sweden.

If an identity card is lost a police report should be made and a copy be sent with a note verbal to the Protocol without delay.
