enhetsIDer

EnhetsIDer is a Swedish national identification system for legal entities, such as companies and organizations. It was introduced in 2017 to replace the previous identification system, which was based on the Organization Number (Organisationsnummer). EnhetsIDer is a 12-digit number that uniquely identifies each legal entity in Sweden. The first six digits represent the organization number, while the last six digits are a check number.

The primary purpose of EnhetsIDer is to facilitate electronic communication and data exchange between public authorities, businesses, and other entities. It is used in various contexts, including tax reporting, company registrations, and government services. The system aims to improve efficiency, reduce administrative burdens, and enhance data integrity.

EnhetsIDer is managed by the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) and the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket). These entities collaborate to ensure the unique identification of all legal entities in Sweden. The system is part of Sweden's broader effort to digitize public services and streamline administrative processes.

To obtain an EnhetsIDer, a legal entity must be registered with Bolagsverket. The registration process involves submitting relevant documentation and paying the required fees. Once registered, the entity is assigned an EnhetsIDer, which is then used for all subsequent communications and transactions.

EnhetsIDer is a crucial component of Sweden's digital infrastructure, contributing to the country's reputation for efficient and transparent public administration. It enables seamless interaction between different sectors, fostering a more integrated and connected economy.
