Deklarerad

Deklarerad is a Swedish adjective meaning declared or stated officially. It is formed from the verb deklarera (to declare) and is used to describe information, values, or statuses that have been formally reported to an authority or recorded in an official document. The term originates from the Latin declarare and is adapted into Swedish as the past participle of deklarera, agreeing with the noun it modifies.

In practice, deklarerad is common in administrative and legal contexts. For example, deklarerad inkomst refers to income reported in a tax declaration, deklarerat värde to a declared value in customs or appraisal processes, and deklarerade uppgifter to information provided in official forms. The word signals that the content has undergone a formal declaration process rather than being a casual statement. Its form changes with number and gender: en deklarerad uppgift, flera deklarerade uppgifter.

Usage notes: deklarerad is typically translated as "declared" in English. It contrasts with terms like påstådd (alleged) or intygad (certified) when indicating different levels of official status or verification. While it often appears in tax, customs, or legal documents, it can also describe any information that has been officially declared in writing or records.
