    How do I get an official company extract in Sweden?

    Start with Bolagsverket at https://www.bolagsverket.se to identify the entity and available company extract. An ordinary extract, historical filing and certified copy are different documents. Check the recipient's requirements and official access conditions before ordering. A LemReveal PDF is not a government-certified extract.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Confirm the entity first

      Search by name or registration number and confirm you have the right legal entity before paying for anything.

    2. 2

      Choose the evidence required

      Ask the recipient whether it needs an ordinary extract, historical filing, certified copy, translation or legalisation. A free summary is not automatically sufficient.

    3. 3

      Follow the official document route

      Use https://www.bolagsverket.se to find the issuing authority or authorised service and its current fees. Check what the document actually certifies.

    4. 4

      Check the issue date

      Ask what issue date the recipient accepts; there is no universal three-month validity period. Retain the issue date, retrieval date and source.

    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.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I need a paid extract to verify a Sweden company?

    Compare available public information with official document options and the recipient's requirements. Free lookup does not guarantee complete or certified evidence.

    What does a Sweden company extract contain?

    Contents vary by document. Check whether it covers current identity, officers, representation or historical filings. A registration certificate does not necessarily describe today's appointments.

    Is a LemReveal PDF an official extract?

    No. It is a third-party research record. Obtain an official or certified document through the relevant authority or authorised service when required.

    What is an AB in Sweden?

    AB (Aktiebolag) is the Swedish limited company, equivalent to a Ltd or GmbH. A private AB requires SEK 25,000 minimum share capital. A public AB (Publikt AB) requires SEK 500,000. AB is the most common entity type for Swedish businesses.
