Confirm it's the right entity
Check the registered address and incorporation date to be sure you have the correct legal entity, especially for groups with similarly named subsidiaries.
Sweden: choosing and checking the right record
- Choose the correct source
- Use Bolagsverket's Sök företagsinformation service. It replaced Näringslivsregistret, which closed in September 2025. Follow the current official service page rather than an old bookmarked search screen; check access for the document you need.
- Confirm the entity
- Start with the organisationsnummer and legal name. Keep the number separate from an SE-prefixed VAT identifier. Confirm whether the record concerns a company, association or another organisation before interpreting officer roles.

Where do I find a Sweden company's registration number?
Every registered Sweden entity has a unique registration number issued at incorporation. It appears on invoices, contracts, the company's website footer (often in a "legal" section), and prominently on its Bolagsverket record.
Is a Sweden registration number the same as a VAT number?
No. The registration number is the identifier issued by the Bolagsverket when the company was formed. The VAT number is a separate tax identifier issued (only if the company is VAT-registered) by the national tax authority. Many small companies have a registration number but no VAT number.
