SKV 7750 Child's First Name and Surname (Sweden): Fill In

What is SKV 7750 - First name and surname for a child without a personnummer?

Children born in Sweden get a name form from Skatteverket (the Swedish Tax Agency) automatically. A child who is a Swedish citizen but was born abroad, and so has no Swedish personal identity number, doesn't. SKV 7750 is the form the custodial parents use to apply for that child's first name and surname under the Swedish Personal Names Act (2016:1013). It is not a name-change form. Changing a first name, surname or middle name uses other forms.

The form asks for the child's date of birth or coordination number, address and country, all of the child's first names and the surname. It then asks for both parents' details and whether each has custody. Page 2 explains which surnames a child may take, the rules for double surnames, and that the law doesn't apply to Swedish citizens living in Denmark, Finland or Norway.

FileIt asks each question in English with the Swedish label beside it, and fills in the child's names and date of birth from your vault. It checks identity numbers, tells you when the child's own consent signature is needed, and prints your answers into Skatteverket's own PDF. You sign by hand and post it. FileIt never sends anything to Skatteverket.

How to fill out SKV 7750 - First name and surname for a child without a personnummer, step by step

1 What the application is for

The date, the child's date of birth or coordination number, a tick that the child is a Swedish citizen, and whether the child lives in Denmark, Finland or Norway. The child's address and country go in the box below, which has room for two lines.

2 First names

All the child's first names, in the order you want them. The form asks you to underline the name the child will be called by (tilltalsnamn). Do that by hand on the printout. Page 2 says a first name can't be offensive, likely to cause the child discomfort, or clearly a surname.

3 Surname

The child's surname. Page 2 lists the options. It can be a surname a parent has, a surname a parent had before (unless it came through marriage), a surname a shared child of the parents has, a double surname made from one surname of each parent, or a name made from a parent's first name with -son or -dotter. For a double surname, give the order and whether to use a hyphen.

4 The parents

First the parent who gave birth to the child, then the other parent. Give each one's full name, address and country, and identity number or date of birth, and tick whether they have custody.

5 Signatures and the child's consent

The custodial parents sign, and both sign if the child has two. A child who is 12 or older but not yet 18 also signs to consent. FileIt prints each signer's name, phone with country code and email under the signature box.

Common mistakes to avoid

Using SKV 7750 to change an existing name. It is only for a child who has no Swedish name registered yet.
Using it for a child living in Denmark, Finland or Norway, where the Swedish law doesn't apply.
Only one parent signing when both have custody.
Forgetting the consent signature of a child aged 12 to 17.
Choosing a surname the rules don't allow, such as one a parent got through marriage, or a double surname that isn't built from one surname of each parent.
Sending no papers showing the child's citizenship and parents. Skatteverket may then ask for them, and the case takes longer.

After you fill it out

Print the form. Each custodial parent signs by hand, and so does the child if they are 12 to 17.

Attach copies of documents that show the child is a Swedish citizen and who the parents and custodial parents are, where you can.

Post it to Skatteverket, 205 30 Malmö, Sverige, the address printed on the form. FileIt doesn't send it.

Keep the filled copy in your FileIt vault, in the child's folder, with their birth certificate and passport.
