SWEDEN The Swedish National Police Board (RIKSPOLISSTYRELSEN) provides criminal record extracts to individuals. If an individual needs an extract this can be ordered from the National Police Board. An individual may show this extract to anyone they wish. When applying for an extract of their criminal record an individual must specify their National Registration Number on the application form. Every Swedish national will have one of these numbers. A UK person (or other foreign national) that is (or has been) permanently residing in Sweden, should also be given a unique National Registration Number. Persons permanently residing in Sweden can ask for four different types of extracts. The forms can be found on the Internet http://www. polisen.se/. Click on “Registerutdrag”. There is also information given for which purpose a specific form shall be used. The forms can also be obtained from the Swedish police stations. Overseas applicants may apply using a specific form. It can be found on the Internet http://www.polisen.se/. Click on the UK flag, “Register extract”. Under “Blankett” there is a form (PDF) in English. The form is also available by writing to the following address: RIKSPOLISSTYRELSEN Kirunaentieten Utlandsarende 981 81 Kiruna SWEDEN E-mail. brud.rps@.polisen.se Fax +46 850445111 Forms are available in the following languages (the language must be specified when requesting the form): • Swedish • English • French • German • Spanish Please follow the instructions in the form. Completed forms should be returned to the address given above. The fee must be paid in advance and instructions for paying the fee can be found in the form. Otherwise applications made using the ‘multi-language form’ described above carry a variable fee depending on where the extract is to be mailed to and the class of postage specified. It is possible to request more than one copy of an extract applied for using this form, though of course requesting two copies of an extract would cost twice as much. Delivery within Europe via standard mail is SEK 180 (Swedish Kronor) and delivery via registered post is SEK 245. An extract will only show conviction information. The Swedish system deletes convictions from an individual's record depending on the offence and the nature of the sentence passed. Minor crimes (the penalty is fine) will not appear on an extract after 5 years has passed since the date of conviction. Major crimes will remain on an extract for ten years after an individual is released from prison (including a period of parole). This only applies if no further offences are committed within the periods specified above. The Extracts sent overseas are printed on watermarked security paper, furnished with a colour printed National Police Board emblem and signed by a civil servant. If a Swedish legalisation of the document is needed this must be done by a notary in Sweden or the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in Sweden. Information can be given from the National Police Board, see address above. It takes approximately 2 weeks for a request to be dealt with (upon receipt of the fee and an application form). The extract will be in five languages. One is English. (Information obtained from the website of the CRB) We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website.
