All Swedish citizens have a so-called "personnummer", a social security number. At Mid Sweden University we will provide you with a temporary number, which is valid ONLY within the walls of the university. The official number can be obtained if you register yourself as a resident in your respective municipality. Registering yourself as a resident is usually done when you intend to stay one year or longer.
If you want to get a Swedish ‘personnummer’, please contact the Local Swedish Tax Administration ‘Skattemyndigheten’ in your campus town. Visit www.skatteverket.se or call + 46 (0)771 778
