The tax agency issues your civil records

This surprises almost everyone: in Sweden the population register is kept by Skatteverket, the tax agency, and the document standing in for a birth certificate is a personbevis — an extract from that register, issued for a stated purpose. There are several versions of it, and which one you need depends on what the receiving office asked for.

Every personbevis carries the personnummer, the personal identity number whose first digits are the date of birth. It is reproduced exactly as printed, never reformatted into a US date.

Swedish documents we translate

Personbevis extracts, marriage records, divorce judgments, diplomas and transcripts, criminal record extracts and court decisions.

Swedish uses å, ä and ö, which are letters in their own right and come last in the alphabet rather than being variants of a and o. We keep them as issued and match the spelling on your passport. Finland issues Swedish-language documents too, in its own formats.

How it works

Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.

A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.

Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.

Certified vs. standard translation

A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where a page is up to 250 words.

A standard translation is for business or personal use where certification is not needed, such as CVs, client intake forms or marketing material, and is billed at the same $24.95 per page of up to 250 words.

Frequently asked questions

Which personbevis do I need?

It depends on the purpose stated by whoever asked for it — there are several versions. Check the request, order that one, and we translate what you receive.

Is the personnummer translated?

Reproduced exactly. It is an identifier, and the leading digits are a date we do not re-format.

Do you translate Swedish documents issued in Finland?

Yes. Tell us the issuing country, since the format differs from Swedish ones.
