Registration certificates

A registration certificate is issued for every vehicle registered in Sweden. The registration certificate consists of two parts, Part 1 and Part 2.

A registration certificate can be ordered via

• our service Order a registration certificate (in Swedish only)

If you order a duplicate, the previous registration certificate issued will become invalid.

We will send out a registration certificate when a new vehicle owner is registered or if any of the information included on the registration certificate is changed. If the vehicle is owned by a minor (person under 18 years of age) who is not authorised to drive the vehicle, the registration certificate will be sent to the custodian registered in the Swedish Road Traffic Registry.

Part 1 of the registration certificate – technical details and other information

Part 1 is sent to the person who owns or uses the vehicle. It is free and will be sent directly to the address registered in the Swedish Road Traffic Registry. In cases where the vehicle has a note regarding leasing, Part 1 of the registration certificate will be sent to the person using the vehicle (that is, the lessee).

Part 1 of the registration certificate includes the following:

• an authorisation code that is required if you wish to make an application via transportstyrelsen.se
• information about who owns or uses the vehicle
• information about leasing
• technical information about the vehicle
• general information about the vehicle
• the part that should be used when making a written application to:
  - license a vehicle for use
  - make an off road notification
  - order plates
  - order Part 2 of the registration certificate.

Part 2 of the registration certificate – a valuable document

Part 2 is sent to the person who owns the vehicle according to the Swedish Road Traffic Registry. If the vehicle includes a note regarding leasing, Part 2 will be sent to the lessor. 

In most cases, private individuals can report a change of ownership via Mina sidor without a registration certificate.

Since the registration certificate is a valuable document and a certificate of who is the registered owner of a vehicle, it is important that you take care of it. Remember to keep the registration certificate in a safe place so that it does not fall into the wrong hands – never in the glove compartment, for example.

Part 2 of the registration certificate includes the following:

• details about the current owner of the vehicle,
• general information about the vehicle,
• the part that is used when applying in writing for:
  - a change of ownership,
  - deregistration.

Do you require a duplicate of Part 2 of the registration certificate?

Private individuals can order by logging in to Mina sidor with e-ID. If you do not have or cannot obtain e-ID, or want to order a registration certificate for a vehicle owned by a company, you can order without e-ID.

Note: Private individuals can in most cases report a change of ownership via Mina sidor without a registration certificate.

Order a registration certificate

The registration certificate will be sent to the address registered in the road traffic register and will normally arrive within a week.

Travelling abroad

Will you be travelling abroad with your vehicle? Remember that you must take your registration certificate with you. If you have a harmonised EU registration certificate, you will only need to take Part 1 with you.

Harmonised EU registration certificates

The background to the harmonised EU registration certificate is a decision made at an EU level that all Member States are to have similar registration certificates (EU Directive 1999/37/EC). This will make it easier to check other countries' vehicle details.

It is hoped that the harmonised EU registration certificate will lead to increased freedom of movement for international road transport, improved road safety and prevent illegal trade in vehicles.

When you receive a new certificate, you should destroy the old one. If you have not received a harmonised EU registration certificate, your old one will still be valid.
