Overview

​
Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Sweden and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: Format: SE + 10-digit Organisationsnummer + 01 (12 digits total, e.g. SE556000000001). No hyphens. Registration number: 10-digit format XXXXXX-XXXX. Universal identifier for all registered legal entities.

How documents combine

For each evidence area, this table shows whether the listed documents are alternatives (any one of) or a bundle (all required). The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below.

​
Documents to collect

The physical documents you’ll collect from your customer, with the evidence area each one proves. One document can prove multiple areas — for example, Brazil’s Cartão CNPJ covers both tax and business-registration proof, so it appears once with both areas listed.

Collection notes

  • Legal Registration: Ordered from Bolagsverket (bolagsverket.se); available in English; e-certificate issued by email. Treat as stale after 3 months.
  • Constitutive Documents: Filed with and held by Bolagsverket; obtainable as PDF.
  • Tax Registration: Both issued by Skatteverket. F-skattsedel confirms approved tax status; VAT certificate confirms SE-number.
  • Operating Permit: Municipality-issued permit or notification; requirements vary by activity and municipality. Many businesses need only registration — no universal general business licence exists.
  • Sector-Specific License: Finansinspektionen issues licences for credit institutions, payment institutions, e-money institutions, securities firms, insurance companies, and fund managers.
  • Ownership Records: Aktiebok is company-maintained and collected directly from the entity. For Swedish ABs with more than 500 shareholders, Euroclear Sweden acts as central securities depository.
  • Governance Records: Board members (styrelseledamöter), chairman (styrelseordförande), and VD registered with Bolagsverket and reflected in the Registreringsbevis.
  • Signing Authority: Board determines firmateckning (signing authority); special signatories (särskilda firmatecknare) registered at Bolagsverket. A fullmakt must be signed by authorised firmatecknare.
  • Address: Lease agreement has no time limit; utility bill or bank statement must be dated within 90 days. Same evidence satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks.
  • Good Standing: No standalone good-standing certificate is issued; a recently dated copy of the listed document evidences current standing. Bolagsverket does not issue a separate CoGS; a Registreringsbevis dated within 3 months evidences current registered status and is the accepted good-standing equivalent (subsumed-by-extract pattern).

​
Person roles

When you submit a person on the application body, set their role to one of Conduit’s canonical BusinessPersonRole values. Use this table to map a local corporate-governance title onto the right canonical role.

Notes

  • Aktiebok is company-held, not centrally filed. The shareholder register for a privat AB is maintained by the company (not Bolagsverket); collect it directly from the entity. (Publ. AB with >500 shareholders use Euroclear Sweden for central registration.)
  • F-skattsedel is a critical tax-status signal. Swedish B2B counterparties must deduct preliminary tax if a supplier lacks an approved F-tax certificate; its absence is a red flag for an unregistered business.
