How the passport number format works
- Format
- 8 digits, no letters
- Example
- 12345678
Things to watch for
- Format-only check — does not confirm the passport was actually issued, is unexpired, or is currently valid
- Purely numeric, with no documented check digit
- Validation runs entirely in your browser — the number you enter is never transmitted or stored
^[0-9]{8}$A Swedish passport number is 8 digits with no letters at all, e.g. 12345678, issued by the Swedish Police Authority (Polisen) — the same national agency responsible for issuing Swedish national ID cards and driving licences. That purely numeric shape puts Sweden alongside the UK as one of the shorter, letter-free formats in this list, in contrast to neighbors like Germany and the Netherlands that build letters into theirs.
What this checker verifies
This tool confirms the input is exactly 8 digits, catching an obvious typo like a missing digit or a stray letter carried over from a scan.
What a pass doesn’t confirm
No check digit is documented for this format, so matching the 8-digit shape is the strongest signal a client-side check can give. A pass doesn’t confirm Polisen actually issued that number, that the passport is unexpired, or that it belongs to a real holder, and nothing you type is decoded or stored.

passport number FAQ
What does a Swedish passport number look like?
8 digits with no letters, e.g. 12345678, issued by the Swedish Police Authority (Polisen), which handles passport issuance alongside its other national policing duties.
Is there a check digit built into the number?
No documented check digit exists for this format — it's a plain 8-digit sequence, so this checker validates length and digit-only content rather than recomputing an internal checksum.
Does a valid format confirm the passport is real?
No. It only checks the 8-digit shape. Confirming the passport was actually issued or is currently valid requires Polisen's own records.
