födelsedatum

Födelsedatum is the Swedish word for date of birth. It refers to the specific day, month, and year on which a person was born. This information is a fundamental personal identifier used in a wide variety of contexts.

Governments typically require a person's födelsedatum for official documentation such as passports, driver's licenses, and social security records. It is crucial for establishing identity, age, and eligibility for various services and rights. In legal and administrative processes, the födelsedatum plays a vital role in identifying individuals and ensuring accuracy.

Beyond official use, the födelsedatum is widely celebrated in many cultures, particularly in Sweden. Birthdays are often marked with parties, gifts, and well wishes. The födelsedatum serves as a personal milestone, signifying the passage of another year of life. It is a date that holds personal significance for individuals and their families. In many informal settings, people will ask for each other's födelsedatum to gauge age or to prepare for celebrations. The concept of a födelsedatum is universal, though the customs surrounding its recognition may vary.
