Swedish passports (Swedish: Svenskt Pass) is a travel document issued to nationals of Sweden for the purpose of international travel. Every Swedish citizen is also a citizen of the European Union and the passport, along with the national identity card allows for freedom of movement in any of the states of the European Economic Area and Switzerland. Swedish citizens are also permitted for travel within the Nordic countries, the Nordic Passport Union allows Nordic citizens to move freely without requiring identity documentation.
Besides serving as proof of Swedish citizenship, the Swedish passport facilitate the process of securing assistance from Swedish consular officials abroad (or other EU or Nordic missions[5][6] Swedish passports are issued by the Swedish Police Authority and applications are made at police stations equipped with a passport terminal for taking photographs and fingerprints. Passports issued since 1 October 2005 are biometric, and valid for five years.[7] Earlier passports were valid for ten years (adults) or five years (children).
It is possible for a Swedish citizen to hold two valid passports at the same time if it is needed for work or other special reasons for as long as the necessity applies,[8][9] but not longer than the ordinary passport is valid for. One example being that some countries in the Arab League do not allow entry to passport holders of any nationality with Israeli visas or passport stamps, requiring two passports in that situation.
