The Swedish Tax Agency has launched a new digital service for marriage impediment inquiries, designed to simplify the process for couples planning to marry. To use the service, both parties who want to marry must be registered as residents in Sweden, according to the agency. The impediment inquiry is free, as stated by the Swedish Tax Agency. If one of the parties is not registered as a resident in Sweden, special rules apply, which the agency outlines. More about these rules can be read on the Swedish Tax Agency's website, providing further guidance for such cases.
For the impediment inquiry to be approved, first one party must log in with their e-identification, and then the other, as per the agency's instructions. After both parties log in, the impediment inquiry should go through directly in cases where no impediments exist, according to the Swedish Tax Agency. This step-by-step process ensures a smooth digital approval for eligible couples.
Once approved, the future bridal couple will receive both the certificate of impediment inquiry and a form about the marriage certificate via the digital mailbox, as reported by the agency. Those who want to change their surname in connection with the wedding can apply for this at the same time, according to the Swedish Tax Agency. The Swedish Tax Agency handles the name change in connection with registering the marriage, streamlining post-approval procedures.
Additional resources and details on special cases, such as when one party is not a resident, are available on the Swedish Tax Agency's website. The agency provides comprehensive information to assist couples with varying circumstances, ensuring they understand all requirements and options for their marriage plans.
