Documents checklist

What US citizens usually need to bring for the most common requests, based on official US government information:

Renewing a U.S. passport abroad

• Contact the U.S. embassy or consulate for your area for its submission instructions
• Renewal with Form DS-82 is possible only if your last passport was issued within the last 15 years, when you were 16 or older, and has never been reported lost or stolen
• The passport must be in your current name – otherwise bring the marriage certificate, divorce decree or other name-change document
• If you do not qualify (e.g. lost or stolen passport, or issued more than 15 years ago) you must apply in person
• Abroad you pay only the passport fee (book: $130) – no expedite fee

Visa and entry information for Swedish citizens

Planning a trip to the United States?

Closing days

Like most offices in Sweden, the embassy closes on public holidays – including Epiphany (6 January), Ascension Day and All Saints’ Day. It is usually also closed on the United States’ national day (4 July). Check before visiting in the weeks around Christmas, Easter and Midsummer.
