Effective today, new security requirements for identification when approving ID06 card orders are being implemented. This is an important step toward strengthening security, trust, and transparency in the ID06 system, and means that anyone approving their ID06 card order must identify themselves with a valid passport or national ID card that serves as a travel document within the EU/EEA.
Previously, eID could be used to approve ID06 card orders, but eID does not include information about citizenship—which is essential for verifying the right to work in Sweden and ensuring that the correct person receives their card.
Here's what the change means:
- The cardholder must present a passport or national ID card to verify their identity before the card is approved.
- Identification is done via a mobile app (BankID or Freja eID) or at a scanning station.
- The goal is to ensure accurate citizenship status and create a more robust process for both employees and employers.
Why this is happening:
The new requirements are part of a long-term effort to create a safer labor market, where all stakeholders can be confident that the ID06 card truly represents a person with a verified identity who is authorized to work in Sweden.
