Coordination number

The Embassy of Sweden in Manila only requisites a coordination number if you intend to apply for a temporary passport through us, and only for persons residing in the Philippines. If you are planning to apply for a passport elsewhere, you should apply for the coordination number at that passport authority.

When a decision for the coordination number has been made by The Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket), the applicant has three (3) months to apply for a temporary passport.

The following documents are required when applying for a coordination number:

• both parents must come in person to the Embassy with the child and present their valid passports
• original birth certificate, in which both parents' names are shown
• original marriage certificate of parents, if married
• if the mother is a Swedish citizen and/or registered in Sweden, documents proving maternity (proving that the woman has given birth to the child) is required, such as a original birth records, proof of birth, ultrasound, medical certificate from the hospital, doctor’s certificate from the attending physician and/or similar documents.

Additional documents may requested, based on individual circumstances.
