adressnamn

Adressnamn refers to a property address or location identifier used in Sweden. It is a unique identification number assigned to each property, typically consisting of a combination of numbers, letters, or other characters. The primary purpose of an adressnamn is to provide a standardized and precise way to identify residential and commercial properties for various purposes, such as postal services, emergency services, and real estate transactions.

In Sweden, all properties must be assigned an adressnamn as per the Swedish ADDRESS Act of 1995. The Swedish Land Survey Office, known as Lantmäteriet, is responsible for maintaining and updating the database of adressnamn. The database is accessible to the public and contains information on all property addresses, including geographical coordinates, administrative zones, and other relevant details.

Adressnamn can be found on various documents and maps, such as property deeds, utility bills, and street directories. The format of an adressnamn typically starts with a combination of numbers and letters, followed by a specific designation indicating the property type. For example, a typical adressnamn might read "12345 345-67, SÖ 001" where the first number and letter combination represents the property number, and the second part indicates the street and district. Adressnamn plays a vital role in Sweden's search and rescue operations, as it enables emergency responders to quickly locate properties and provide assistance when needed.
