Is the address change free?

Yes, the change of address itself is free. Flyttanmälan to Skatteverket (the Swedish Tax Agency) costs nothing, and notifying a new address to Svensk Adressändring is also free of charge. What you pay for is forwarding, i.e. sending post with the old address onwards. For a household, it costs from 698 kronor.

Flyttanmälan to Skatteverket is free

Flyttanmälan changes your population registration, and you do this with every move. Skatteverket states that it is free and that you do it in the e-service Flyttanmälan, before the move or at the latest one week after. If the notification is received later, the new address applies from the day it was received. When you have reported the move, authorities such as Försäkringskassan (the Swedish Social Insurance Agency) and CSN (the Swedish Board of Student Finance) receive the new address from Skatteverket. How to do it step by step is described in the guide to flyttanmälan (notification of change of address) to Skatteverket.

It is also free to report a special postal address, if you want to receive post at a different address than the one you are registered at for at least six months. If a website charges you for doing flyttanmälan for you, it is not the service of the Tax Authority.

Change of address for mail: free without mail forwarding

With Svensk Adressändring you can report a new address without paying.

Is there free mail forwarding?

Only with an active student package, where mail forwarding costs 0 kr regardless of period. If you are under 26 or a student, it costs 298 to 398 kr, compared to 698 to 998 kr for a household. If you extend the mail forwarding, you pay half the price. Svensk Adressändring also shows campaigns with discounts if you take advantage of offers from their partners. The campaigns change and are not included in the prices here.

Do I need to pay for mail forwarding?

No, it is an option. Flyttanmälan does not change where the mail is sent, and mail forwarding does not change the population registration, so they do not replace each other. Mail forwarding is worthwhile if you receive mail from senders that you do not have time to notify yourself. What it costs per period and how you order is stated in the guide to mail forwarding.
