Move at different stages of life

If you are moving from home, you will need your own home insurance, as your parents' insurance no longer applies, and you should do flyttanmälan (notification of change of address) to Skatteverket (the Swedish Tax Agency) even if you are moving to a student room. If you are moving to a nursing home, which is called special housing in the law, you apply to the social services in the municipality, which assesses whether the need exists.
