How to register beneficial ownership information

Before registering, you need to determine whether the company has a beneficial owner and, if so, identify that person. Your investigation may also show that there is no beneficial owner or that it is not possible to determine who it is. In such cases, that information must also be registered.

Register via bolagsverket.se

Most companies and associations are required to register information via the e-service on our website External link.. Please note that the e-service is only available in Swedish. A board member must log in to the e-service using their e-identification.The fee for registering beneficial ownership information is SEK 250.

If you are a representative acting under a power of attorney, you cannot submit the registration via our e-service. Instead, please send an email to bolagsverket@bolagsverket.se with the name and registration number of the company or association, along with your contact details.

Information to be included:

• company registration number
• company name
• full name, Swedish personal identification number or date of birth, nationality and country of residence for each beneficial owner*
• type of control, that is, the way the beneficial owner controls the company or association
• extent of control, as a percentage
• information about whether the individual (or individuals) own or control the company or association together with close family members or through other companies.

If information is unavailable or incorrect

If we see that a company or association has not registered beneficial ownership information with us, we can send out an official notice, asking for information to be provided within a certain time. If the company or association still does not provide the required information, they may have to pay a fine.  

Government authorities and obliged entities (business operators within the regulated sector – such as banks and estate agents) that are subject to regulations laid out in the Anti-Money Laundering Act, must notify Bolagsverket if they suspect that information in our beneficial ownership register is incorrect. We will then send an official notice to the company or association in question, asking for the correct information to be supplied. If the company or association still does not supply the information, they may have to pay a fine.

If you do not have Swedish e-identification, you can apply for exemption

If you do not have a Swedish e-identification or access to the internet, you can apply for exemption from the requirement to register your information online. Use our form

The fee is SEK 400.
