## Start here
This guide contains public integration notes for Sweden. Use it for identifier formats, search behavior, and country-specific caveats. The live source of truth for coverage, pricing, data sources, documents, legal forms, roles, and status values is the pricing page.
Open the current catalog for supported datapoints, documents, sources, identifiers, and availability.
Country details below are preserved as integration notes. If a table or example conflicts with the live pricing page, use the pricing page as the source of truth and contact support.

## Data Sources
All company data is sourced from **Bolagsverket** (Swedish Companies Registration Office), the official government agency responsible for registering companies, partnerships, associations, and other legal entities in Sweden. Bolagsverket was established in 2004 when it took over registration duties from the Patent and Registration Office (PRV).
For a given entity, **data comes from a single source** -- there is no cross-registry merging. Two Bolagsverket API versions are used for different purposes:
* **Bolagsverket Foretagsinformation API v4** -- The **primary source** for company profile data. This is a paid API that provides comprehensive structured data: company name, legal form, status, registration and incorporation dates, registered address, share capital, activity description, board members and officers (funktionarer), signing rules (firmateckning), financial reporting periods, and articles of association details. Used for the `companyProfile` data point.
* **Bolagsverket Vardefulla Datamangder API v1** -- A free open data API providing basic company information. Used for **search by registration number** and for **annual report document listings** (dokumentlista endpoint). Returns: company name, legal form, address, registration date, and status indicators. Also provides the annual reports document listing for each company.
* **Bolagsverket Foretagsinfo Website API** -- The Bolagsverket public website (`foretagsinfo.bolagsverket.se`) exposes a product catalog API that lists available **purchasable documents** per company. This is used to determine which paid documents (trade register extract, articles of association, statutes, minutes, UBO extract, current assignments) are available for a given company and legal form.
**Search by company name** is retrieved from the official registry because the Bolagsverket name search functionality does not have a public REST API endpoint. Identifier-based searches use the v1 API directly.
### Ultimate Beneficial Owners
UBO data is obtained by retrieving the **UBO Extract** (Registret over verkliga huvudman) document from Bolagsverket's website, then parsing the PDF content with AI. Bolagsverket does not yet expose UBO data through a structured API endpoint.
## Company Identifiers
### Query Identifiers
| Identifier Type | Format | Example | Notes |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Organisationsnummer** | 10 digits (`NNNNNN-NNNN` or `NNNNNNNNNN`) | `5560125790` or `556012-5790` | Primary identifier for companies. Hyphen is optional. |
| **Personnummer** | 12 digits (`YYYYMMDDNNNN` or `YYYYMMDD-NNNN`) | `196405250314` or `19640525-0314` | Used by sole traders (enskild firma). Issued by Skatteverket. Hyphen is optional. |
| **VAT number** | `SE` + 12 digits | `SE556012579001` or `SE640525031401` | Companies: SE + organisationsnummer + `01`. Sole traders: SE + century-stripped personnummer (10 digits) + `01`. |
**Organisationsnummer vs personnummer:** Organisation numbers have digits 3-4 (the "month" position) >= 20, distinguishing them from personnummers where those digits are 01-12 (a real birth month). For example, `556012-5790` has "60" in positions 3-4 — an organisation number. `196405250314` has "64" — a personnummer. The search request handles both automatically.
### Identifiers in API Response
| Identifier | Format | Example | Notes |
| ------------------------ | --------------------------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `id` | 10 or 12 digits (no hyphen) | `5560125790` | For companies: 10 digits. For sole traders: 12-digit personnummer. |
| `registrationNumber` | 10 digits | `5560125790` | Returned for companies only. |
| `personalIdentityNumber` | 12 digits | `196405250314` | Returned for sole traders instead of `registrationNumber`. |
## Search Capabilities
| Search Type | Pattern | Example | Match Type | Expected Results |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| By Organisationsnummer | 10 digits (with or without hyphen) | `5560125790` or `556012-5790` | Exact | Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow |
| By Personnummer | 12 digits (with or without hyphen) | `196405250314` or `19640525-0314` | Exact | Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow |
| By VAT number | `SE` + 12 digits | `SE556012579001` | Exact | Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow |
| By company name | Text string | `"Volvo"` | Contains | Multiple results |
**Identifier normalization:** The search request strips the `SE` prefix and trailing digits from VAT numbers, removes hyphens from organisation numbers and personnummers, and detects sole traders automatically by the personnummer format (12 digits, birth-month digits 01-12 in positions 3-4).
**Search uses both a live registry lookup and an official registry query.** Identifier searches (organisationsnummer, VAT) query the Bolagsverket v1 API directly. Name searches query the official registry because no public name search API exists.
## Quirks & Gotchas
| Quirk | Details |
| ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Sole traders use personnummer as identifier** | Sole traders (enskild firma) are registered at Bolagsverket with their personal identity number (personnummer, 12 digits YYYYMMDDNNNN) instead of an organisationsnummer. Pass the personnummer directly as the identifier. The response returns `personalIdentityNumber` in `identifiers` and omits company-specific fields like share capital and board members. |
| **Natural persons return `notFound` on company profile** | A personnummer that belongs to a natural person with no registered business at Bolagsverket returns `resource_not_found` on the `company` datapoint. This is distinct from a registered sole trader (enskild firma) with the same personnummer format but an active Bolagsverket registration. Natural persons can still have purchasable documents (current assignments, prohibition register, insolvency register). |
| **Shareholders come from the annual report, when disclosed** | Bolagsverket does not publish a share register: ownership is restricted to authorities and the company's own shareholders. Some annual reports voluntarily disclose ownership in the ownership note, and that is what the `shareholders` datapoint reads. Disclosure is not required, so most companies return none. Sole traders (enskild firma) have no share capital at all, so the datapoint returns an explicit not-applicable response for them. |
| **UBO = control extent, not ownership** | Bolagsverket reports **control extent** (Omfattning) for UBOs, not ownership percentage. Multiple UBOs can each show 100% control. This reflects influence over the company through shares, agreements, or intermediary entities -- not economic stake. |
| **All activity codes are AI-inferred** | Sweden does not assign standard classification codes. The `verksamhetsbeskrivning` (activity description) is a free-text field in Swedish, and all ISIC/NACE codes are derived by AI. `isAIInferred` is always `true`. |
| **Active = empty status array** | An active company has an **empty** `organisationsstatusar` array from Bolagsverket. Any status entry means the company is inactive. This is the opposite of most registries which explicitly mark companies as active. |
| **Status code system is complex** | Bolagsverket uses dozens of numeric status codes across two categories: `AvregistreradOrganisationstyp` (struck off the register -- codes 21, 31, 37, 41, 51, 53, 60-64, 70, 73, 74, 91, 98) and `AvvecklingsOmstruktureringsforfarande` (ongoing settlement/restructuring -- codes 11, 20, 32, 45, 49, 75, 80, 85, 90, 91, 96). |
| **All documents are in Swedish** | All documents from Bolagsverket (annual reports, trade register extracts, articles of association, UBO extract, etc.) are written in Swedish. English certificates require login and are not available programmatically. |
| **Annual reports: API vs purchasable** | Annual reports come from two sources: (1) free individual filings via the v1 API dokumentlista endpoint (ZIP format containing original filing), and (2) a paid compilation of all years from the website (single PDF). |
| **Legal form is AI-enriched** | Local Swedish legal forms are deterministically mapped to English translations via a static codelist. However, the `standardized` form and `iso20275Code` are AI-enriched. |
| **Share capital in SEK only** | Share capital for AB companies is always denominated in Swedish Kronor (SEK). |
| **Purchasable documents vary by legal form** | The available purchasable documents depend on the company's legal form code. For example, "Articles of Association" (Bolagsordning) applies to AB companies, while "Statutes" (Stadgar) applies to associations. |
| **Document retrieve requires retrieval flow** | Purchasable documents involve a 5-step process: temporary inbox creation, website retrieval, document download, PDF extraction from ZIP, and invoice forwarding. Delivery takes approximately 5 minutes. |
## Mappings
### Company Status
Status is determined **deterministically** from the Bolagsverket register. An empty `organisationsstatusar` array means the company is active. Any status entry triggers mapping through the status code system.
#### Active Status
| Local Status | English Translation | Standardized Status |
| ------------ | ------------------- | ------------------- |
| Aktiv | Active | `ACTIVE` |
"Aktiv" is not returned by the API -- it is inferred from the absence of any status entries. When `organisationsstatusar` is empty or undefined, the company is considered active.

### Legal Forms
The local legal form (`organisationsform.klartext`) is preserved from Bolagsverket and deterministically mapped to an English translation. The `standardized` form and `iso20275Code` are **AI-enriched**.

Bolagsverket maintains approximately 30 standardized legal form codes. The `iso20275Code` is AI-enriched and available for common forms like AB (`XJHM`), HB (`BEAY`), and EK (`C61P`). Additional legacy forms may appear in historical records. The API preserves the `localName` exactly as returned by Bolagsverket.
### Legal Representatives
These roles have statutory authority to bind the company and are classified as legal representatives. Role codes are from the official Bolagsverket funktionarsroller codelist. Roles are **deterministically mapped** to English translations; the `iso5009Code` is **AI-enriched**.
| Code | Swedish Name | English Translation | Standardized |
| ---- | ---------------------- | ------------------- | -------------- |
| OF | Styrelseordforande | Chairman | `Chairman` |
| VD | Verkstallande direktor | CEO | `CEO` |
| LE | Styrelseledamot | Board Member | `Board Member` |
| SU | Styrelsesuppleant | Deputy Board Member | `Board Member` |
| SUPP | Suppleant | Deputy Board Member | `Board Member` |
**Role priority:** When a person holds multiple roles, the system applies a priority: OF (Chairman) > VD (CEO) > LE (Board Member) > SU/SUPP (Deputy). Only the highest-priority role is assigned as the legal representative role for that person.
### Other Key Persons
All other officer roles (funktionarer) are classified as other key persons. **Both individuals and corporate entities** can hold these roles (e.g., an auditing firm as auditor). Role codes are standardized by Bolagsverket.
#### Executive Management Roles
| Code | Swedish Name | English Translation | Standardized |
| ---- | ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------- |
| EVD | Verkstallande direktor | Chief Executive Officer | `CLevelExecutive` |
| VVD | Vice verkstallande direktor | Vice CEO | `CLevelExecutive` |
| EVVD | Vice verkstallande direktor | Vice CEO | `CLevelExecutive` |
| SVD | Stallforetradande verkstallande direktor | Deputy CEO | `CLevelExecutive` |
| VLE | Verkstallande ledamot | Managing Director | `CLevelExecutive` |
#### Auditor Roles
| Code | Swedish Name | English Translation | Standardized |
| ----- | ---------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | ------------ |
| REV | Revisor | Auditor | `Auditor` |
| REVT | Revisor (med tillstand) | Auditor (with authorization) | `Auditor` |
| REVH | Huvudansvarig revisor | Principal Auditor | `Auditor` |
| REVS | Revisorssuppleant | Deputy Auditor | `Auditor` |
| REVST | Revisorssuppleant (med tillstand) | Deputy Auditor (with authorization) | `Auditor` |
| REVL | Lekmannarevisor | Lay Auditor | `Auditor` |

| HREV | Revisor hallbarhetsrapport | Sustainability Report Auditor | `Auditor` |
| HREVH | Huvudansvarig revisor hallbarhetsrapport | Principal Sustainability Report Auditor | `Auditor` |
| HREVS | Revisorssuppleant hallbarhetsrapport | Deputy Sustainability Report Auditor | `Auditor` |
#### Signatory and Representative Roles
| Code | Swedish Name | English Translation | Standardized |
| ---- | -------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------- |
| PO | Prokurist | Authorized Signatory | `Other` |
| EFT | Extern firmatecknare | External Signatory | `Other` |
| REP | Representant | Representative | `Other` |
| DELG | Delgivningsmottagare | Service Agent | `ComplianceOfficer` |
#### Partnership Roles
| Code | Swedish Name | English Translation | Standardized |
| ---- | ----------------- | ------------------- | ------------ |
| BO | Bolagsman | Partner | `Other` |
| KP | Komplementar | General Partner | `Other` |
| KD | Kommanditdelagare | Limited Partner | `Other` |
#### Other Administrative Roles
| Code | Swedish Name | English Translation | Standardized |
| ---- | ---------------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------ |
| IN | Enskild naringsidkare | Sole Proprietor | `Other` |
| FO | Forestandare | Director | `Other` |
| FV | Forvaltare | Administrator | `Other` |
| LI | Likvidator | Liquidator | `Other` |
| LS | Likvidatorssuppleant | Deputy Liquidator | `Other` |
| AK | Aktuarie | Actuary | `Secretary` |
| ARB | Arbetstagarrepresentant | Employee Representative | `Supervisor` |
| FTR | Forsakringstagarrepresentant | Policyholder Representative | `Supervisor` |
A person or entity can hold **multiple roles simultaneously**. For legal representatives, the highest-priority role is selected. For other key persons, each non-legal-representative role is listed separately. When an organization holds a role (e.g., an auditing firm), its representative person is also listed with the suffix "(Representative)".
### Shareholders
Bolagsverket does **not** publish a share register. Ownership is restricted to authorities and the company's own shareholders, so there is no register source for it.
What the `shareholders` datapoint reads instead is the **ownership note in the company's annual report**. Swedish companies are not required to disclose ownership there, so most return none. Names and holdings are extracted by AI from the filing, so verify against the source before relying on them for compliance.
Sole traders (enskild firma) have no share capital, so the datapoint does not apply to them at all: it returns an explicit `datapoint_not_applicable` response and the owner is returned under `legalRepresentatives`. See [Sole Entrepreneurs & Non-Profits](/essentials/entity-types).
### Activity Code Mapping
Sweden does **not** use a national activity code classification in the Bolagsverket registry. Instead, companies register a free-text **verksamhetsbeskrivning** (activity description) in Swedish. The system uses AI enrichment to derive standardized activity codes:
```
Verksamhetsbeskrivning (Swedish free text) --> AI --> ISIC Rev. 4 + NACE Rev. 2
```
| Classification | Source | Example | AI Inferred? |
| ------------------------ | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| **Activity description** | Bolagsverket (`verksamhetsbeskrivning`) | "Utveckling och forsaljning av programvara" | No (official) |
| **ISIC** | AI-derived from activity description | `6201` - Computer programming activities | Yes (always) |
| **NACE** | AI-derived from activity description | `62.01` - Computer programming activities | Yes (always) |
**All ISIC and NACE codes for Sweden are AI-inferred** because Bolagsverket does not assign standard classification codes. The AI derives codes from the Swedish-language activity description text. The `isAIInferred` flag is always `true` for Swedish activity codes.

**Note:** Sole traders return `personalIdentityNumber` in `identifiers` instead of `registrationNumber`. The `id` field holds the 12-digit personnummer. Share capital, board members, and signing rules are not present — they are company-specific fields that do not apply to sole proprietorships.

```
**Note:** UBO data is AI-extracted from the retrieved UBO Extract document. The Swedish field "Omfattning" (extent) represents **control extent**, not ownership percentage. Multiple UBOs can each show 100% because they each have a control path giving full influence over the company. The `percentageValue` field is not populated because the Swedish register reports control extent, not economic ownership stake.
