Ensure reliable systems for identities and identification, and improved ways to access and to exchange relevant data

Published

It is vital to have a solid system for identities and identification, that criminals cannot misuse or take advantage of. Government agencies and other relevant actors must also have efficient ways to access and exchange relevant data, to prevent and investigate crime.

Shortcomings in identity administration have contributed to extensive problems with organised crime. Various forms of identity misuse are part of fraud and welfare crime. Intensive efforts are required to ensure an identity administration system that is reliable, coherent and sustainable over time.

Government agencies and other relevant actors must have adequate tools to effectively collect, process and exchange relevant data and information. Government agencies currently operate primarily based on data available in separate systems rather than relevant available data from different sources. This leads to a weaker capacity for society to prevent, counter and fight organised crime than could be the case.  

Objective

Swedish identity administration must be reliable and solid, and not be vulnerable to misuse or exploitation for criminal purposes.  Government agencies and other relevant actors must have adequate tools to effectively collect, process and exchange relevant data and information to prevent and investigate crime.

 

 

Efforts towards this objective require:

  • a cohesive identity administration including increased use of biometric data;
  • improved possibilities for sharing, storing and processing data;
  • improved access to data in digital environments and
  • increased use of technical tools.
