Who Can Have Freja?

Anyone can download the Freja app and register an account with a valid email. However, their experience will be greatly limited as most of Freja’s features require a higher level of registration.

This page is about who is eligible to get Freja, for more information we also have a full registration guide that explains the process.

Who Can Add their ID Document to Freja

Adding an ID document to Freja is a higher level of registration where we create your digital ID card and open up more features in Freja.

Naturally, Swedish citizens can register with their ID document. Additionally, there are 52 countries more who can use their biometric passport to register a Freja account.

If your country is not on the list, keep an eye out as we are adding more countries to Freja constantly.

Who Can Have Freja+

Swedish Citizens Living in Sweden

Are You Living Abroad?

Do You Have a Protected Identity?

Are You a Foreign Citizen Living in Sweden?

Swedish Citizens Living in Sweden

All Swedish citizens living in Sweden above the age of 8 can have Freja+. All you need is a valid ID document issued in Sweden: passport, national ID card, driving licence or Skatteverket ID card.

We recommend that you use your Swedish passport or national ID card to get Freja+ immediately. If you use another ID, your driving licence for example, to get Freja+ you will need to visit one of our agents in Sweden for a final security check.

Important note about using Freja+ for eIDAS:

Users who got Freja+ directly via passport or national ID cannot use Freja+ for eIDAS.

Unfortunately this is not related to Freja, rather the Swedish government agency responsible for electronic identities, so we cannot resolve it ourselves.

If you got Freja to use for eIDAS, we recommend you delete your account and register a new one but this time use your driving licence for registration. For Freja+ you will then also need to do a quick in-person security check with one of our agents.

Are You Living Abroad?

Living Abroad Fewer than 5 Years

If it has been fewer than 5 years since you unregistered from the Swedish Population Register (Folkbokföringsregistret or SPAR), you can get Freja with any valid Swedish ID document and are eligible to get Freja+.

We recommend that you use your Swedish passport or national ID card to get Freja+ immediately. If you use another ID, your driving licence for example, to get Freja+ you will need to visit one of our agents in Sweden for a final security check.

Living Abroad More than 5 Years

Since 1 September 2023, the Swedish Population Register (Folkbokföringsregistret or SPAR) removes the data of emigrants from their database after a 5-year period.

Anyone who has emigrated (including people with a protected identity) can request that the removal period be delayed for another 5-year period. Such a request can be made as long as the person is an emigrant and there in a need for them to remain in the SPAR database.

SPAR may also re-enter data about a person who had previously been removed. Therefore, as long as your personal data is in the SPAR database, you can get Freja+ (read above for more details)

Do You Have a Protected Identity?

Yes, you can get Freja and Freja+, but you must use a Swedish passport to register. For Freja+ you must bring your passport to the ATG agent for the identity check.

Important note – the agent is only verifying your identity in-person, no data is being collected nor are any lookups being performed.

When using Freja we will not share protected information such as your address. All other data that is shared requires your explicit consent in the app each time you do a transaction. This means you have full control of the data you are sharing and to whom.

Are You a Foreign Citizen Living in Sweden?

Get Freja+ with a Coordination No.

If you are living in Sweden and have a valid coordination number (samordningsnummer) registered at the Swedish Tax Agency you can get Freja+.

If your country is supported you will automatically be able to see the registration steps for Freja+ with a coordination number. You will need to use the biometric passport of your country if origin to register.

Currently, all EU/EEA citizens are eligible to have Freja+.

Get Freja+ with a Swedish SSN

If you already have a personnummer, you will need to register again with a Swedish ID document. This can be either a Swedish driving licence, or the Swedish Tax Agency’s ID card (check their website to see how to get it).

Register again with either of these ID documents. Select Sweden as your country and select the ID document you have – don’t use your foreign passport. For more details, check our registration guide.
