Service of Process in Sweden
Authorised by the County Administrative Board, we provide comprehensive service of process in Sweden, assisting international clients with serving documents to both individuals and entities.
Person Authorised to Receive Service of Process
The Swedish Companies Registration Office mandates that all Swedish companies have a legal representative registered in Sweden. If no representative resides in the country, a designated person authorised to receive service of process (“särskild delgivningsmottagare”) must be appointed to prevent company liquidation. We offer this service for your Swedish company.

We Help You Navigate Process Service in Sweden
We serve an individual or entity in Sweden:
Article 5: Standard Service via Central Authority
We handle the entire process of submitting your documents to the Swedish Central Authority, ensuring full compliance with the Hague Service Convention. With our established local connections and daily experience in navigating domestic legal frameworks, we streamline the process for our clients.
The recipient confirms delivery through official documentation provided by the Authority. This method is ideal for cases requiring formal procedures but without urgent time constraints.
How It Works:
We require the following:
- Digital or physical copies of documents you wish to serve.
- The official request form, USM-94, must be completed and included.
- All documents must be translated into Swedish unless the recipient clearly understands the original language (4 a § Service of Process Act). We provide translations upon request.
What Can Be Served?
All documents related to criminal cases require service of process through this method in Sweden. All other types of documents can be served here as well.
Standard
We facilitate and handle the process for you. May take 1-5 months, depending on each authorities' handling time.
Pricing
700 USD per service.
Article 10b: Direct Personal Service
Our government-authorised process servers personally visit the recipient to deliver your documents at their home, workplace, and other known addresses. We always aim to obtain the recipient’s signature. If this is not possible, we are authorised to complete the service under Swedish law. This includes serving:
- When the recipient refuses to accept or sign,
- Via a household member or employer, or
- Through “spikning”, which occurs when the recipient cannot meet the server.
Thanks to our digital-first approach and local expertise, we can often initiate cases on the same day, ensuring minimal delays.
How It Works:
Contact us with your case details and the documents to serve. We do relevant research, complete multiple tries and serve the recipient. Reports with relevant proofs and certificates are automatically generated, depending on hwo the service was performed and completed.
What Can Be Served?
All tyoes of legal and commercial documents can be served, such as payment demands, termination of rental agreements, summons and decisions. We assist regardless of your reason – whether it’s to expedite processes, obtain legally strengthened proof of receipt, or ensure compliance with local law.
Note: In Sweden, criminal cases must be served in accordance with article 5.

Article 10a: Service Through Registered Mail
We facilitate service by registered mail, leveraging our deep understanding of Sweden’s postal system and trusted partnerships with domestic mailing services. This allows us to provide a seamless experience, ensuring accurate delivery and confirmation.
The recipient acknowledges receipt through a delivery confirmation. This option is perfect for non-urgent legal documents, such as demand letters or preliminary notices, offering an affordable and reliable alternative to in-person service.
How It Works:
Enter the recipient’s details and securely upload your documents in our form. You can also choose us, yourself, or a third party as the sender. This may affect the recipient’s willingness to pick up the letter. We send all registered mail the same day if the order is placed before 4 p.m.
We will inform you of the outcome of the delivery. If it is not collected, we can quickly proceed with personal service upon your request.
