Can you get a temporary passport at Arlanda?
Where to get a provisional passport instead, and what you need to bring.
Short answer
No, the Swedish Police no longer issue temporary passports at Arlanda, and Swedavia says applicants are referred to the passport offices in Sollentuna, Norrmalm and Farsta. A provisional passport costs SEK 980, can be applied for no earlier than 72 hours before departure, and cannot be booked in advance.
Why
- Swedavia states that the Swedish Police stopped producing temporary passports at Stockholm Arlanda Airport and that it is no longer possible to apply for one there.
- According to the Swedish Police, the application fee is SEK 980 and you can apply no earlier than 72 hours before departure.
- The Swedish Police state that you cannot book a time for a provisional passport, and that it is issued on the spot at the passport offices that offer the service.
Details
The Farsta passport office is at Mårbackagatan 3F and the Stockholm City passport office at Bergsgatan 48, and each shows its opening hours for provisional passports on its Polisen page. You must show where, when and for how long you will travel, and have valid ID. For the ordinary process, see how to get a Swedish passport and where to apply for a passport in Stockholm.
Tip
Bring your travel booking and valid ID, and check the opening hours on the Polisen page for the office before you go, because you cannot book a time. More on the airport is in Arlanda and its alternatives.
