Regain Swedish Citizenship

If you lost your Swedish citizenship as a result of becoming a citizen of another country prior to July 1, 2001, you as of April 1, 2015 may regain it by submitting a request to the Swedish Migration Agency.

This applicable to you if you: 

  • lost your Swedish citizenship as a result of applying for, or agreeing to become a citizen of another country,
  • or as a child, under the age of 18, automatically became a citizen of another country as a result of your parents becoming citizens of that country,
  • or lost your Swedish citizenship as a result of going into public service for another country.

If the notification concerns a child under the age of 18, the parents/legal guardians must sign the notification form. If you have sole custody of your child, your signature is enough.

Children age 12 and older must co-sign the form. Exceptions can be made if a child cannot give consent due to a permanent mental disorder or a similar circumstance.

Notification

All necessary supporting documents are also listed on the form.
