Applications for a Swedish ordinary passport/national ID card can be made in Sweden at any of the Police's passport offices, or outside Sweden at some of Sweden's Missions abroad (Embassies) that are also passport authorities.
In Australia, applications for a Swedish ordinary passport/national ID card can be made at the Embassy of Sweden in Canberra, which is a Swedish passport authority abroad. Other passport authorities in the region are Sweden's Embassies in, for example, Indonesia, Singapore, or Thailand. Swedish Honorary Consulates are not passport authorities, and therefore cannot receive applications for a Swedish ordinary passport/national ID card.
At the time of application for a Swedish ordinary passport/national ID card (in Sweden or abroad), any passport office in Sweden or Swedish passport authority abroad can be nominated as the delivery location.
After a new Swedish ordinary passport/national ID card has arrived at a Swedish passport authority abroad (Embassy), an Honorary Consulate can assist in handing out the completed document. An ordinary passport/national ID card that arrives at the Embassy of Sweden in Canberra can either be picked up at the Embassy, or forwarded from the Embassy for pick up at any of Sweden's Honorary Consulates within the Embassy of Sweden in Canberra's geographical area of responsibility.
For people over 12 years of age, a Swedish ordinary passport/national ID card is valid for 5 years. For persons under the age of 12, the validity period is 3 years. A person can be granted a maximum of three ordinary passports during a five-year period.
