Formuläret

Formuläret is the definite singular form of the Swedish noun formulär, meaning a printed or electronic document that requires information to be provided and submitted to a person, organization, or authority. A formulär typically consists of labeled fields, checkboxes and spaces for signatures, and is used for applications, registrations, surveys and other administrative processes. In everyday language the term is often used interchangeably with blankett, though formulär tends to be more formal or technical and common in official contexts.

Formuläret can be completed on paper or online. In many cases a specific form is issued by an organization with instructions on required fields, attachments and submission methods. After completion, the form is reviewed, processed and stored for records, compliance and auditing. Some forms are standardized across agencies, while others are tailor-made for particular programs or procedures.

Etymology and usage notes: formulär is borrowed from French formulaire, which ultimately derives from Latin formula. The definite singular is formuläret; the indefinite singular is ett formulär. Plural forms include formulär (indefinite plural) and formulären (definite plural). In Swedish, formulär is a common term in official and administrative language, whereas blankett is a closely related but more general term used in a wider range of everyday contexts.
