How our e-service works
Login and electronic signature in Lantmäteriet's e-service require secure identification. Therefore you need a BankID or e-identification to be able to use the service. This means that the information from your e-identification is saved when you log in and when you sign the application.

- Information from your e-identification for you who log in and will sign.
- How the property or site leasehold has been acquired: for example, purchase, gift, inheritance or by division of property or estate.

The information in an application that has been initiated is stored in the service for 5 days, or until the application has been submitted, and is then deleted. You can choose to cancel an application that has already been started and delete the data. Should your login method be altered, for instance due to a new personal identification number, a new e-ID or a change to your existing e-ID, it is not certain that you will be able to access a previously stored application, instead a new application will be started.
If you do not want to provide the information required to use the e-service, you can submit your application in paper form.
Important to keep in mind when applying
- For each individual purchase, an application must be sent in even if the property is transferred on within three months at unmodified terms.
- If a purchase of real property is transferred without any other addition or other change in the terms of purchase than the date of possession and payment and the manner of payment called for by changed mortgage conditions, the stamp duty only needs to be paid for the latest purchase. If the tax for the previous purchase has already been paid, that amount is deducted from the tax on the latest purchase (Section 7 of the Stamp Tax Act).
- When you apply for a registration of ownership for property or site leasehold, you must enclose an original copy of the acquisition document together with the application. Such a document may, for example, be a letter of purchase, deed of gift, distribution of inheritance, will or agreement of marital property division.
- If you have acquired a building on non-freehold property, you should not apply for registration of ownership. Instead, you must as soon as possible register the acquisition with one of the Swedish Tax Agency’s offices that has real property tax assessment and notify them that you have become the owner of the property. You need to enclose a copy of the acquisition document, such as a letter of purchase, deed of gift or estate inventory.
- Keep in mind when applying if you inherited a property or site leasehold: The only exception is if you are the sole beneficiary of the estate and will apply for registration of ownership with the support of an estate inventory. Then, you only need to send in a certified copy of the estate inventory together with the application. The estate inventory must first be registered with the Swedish Tax Agency, if swedish law is applicable.
