What it is
A personbevis shows what is recorded about you in the Swedish Population Register. There are different versions for different uses — for example for a bank, a scholarship, or a foreign embassy. Use Skatteverket’s “Find the right population registration certificate” (Hitta rätt personbevis) service to pick the right one.
