How do I get a Swedish personal identity number?

When it was introduced in 1947 it was probably the first of its kind covering the total resident population of a country (the Social Security number in the United States is older by 12 years, but it did not originally cover the whole population). Numbers are issued by the Swedish Tax Agency (Swedish: Skatteverket) as part of the population register (Swedish: Folkbokföring).[1] Until 1967, it had nine digits, and after that 10 digits. This was expanded to 12 digits in 1997 in cases of automated data treatment.[2][3]

The number is used by authorities, by health care, schools and universities (both public-run and private). Also used by banks (needing it by law for tax purposes and mandatory customer identification) and insurance companies (needing it for car liability insurance and for medical travel insurance coordination). Other companies often ask for it in return for a post-paid service, such as a telephone subscription, to be able to check e.g. the person's credit record or address or if needed to perform debt collection.

The link between a person and the identity number is established through the civil registry and through identity documents and secondarily through the widespread use of the number in various contacts with authorities, businesses etc. They are necessary for personal service at banks, authorities, health care and other services which use the personal identity number. Most people are familiar with their full number and those of their children without hesitation. Personal identity numbers of individuals are openly available from the Swedish tax authorities to anyone who asks (over phone, letter, over the desk, but not over the internet), according to the Swedish principle of freedom of information. Redistribution of these numbers using computers is, however, governed by the law of personal details, in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Living in another country for an extended period can lead to hidden fees if you are not careful. Depending on where you originate from, one such cost is the transaction fees incurred when using your card from back home. So, as a student studying for at least a year, it would be wise to open a bank account to reduce the fees incurred from your bank. At least, this was my thought process. So, I set out to finding the right bank for me and finding information about the process. Surprisingly, information for students studying for less than 13 months was significantly limited. As far as I could see, the only way to open a bank account was with a personnummer (Swedish personal identity number). However, you can only obtain this identifier if you hold a residence permit for longer than 12 months, so I had a coordination number. Since you are reading this blog, you could infer that I eventually got a job here in Sweden as a Digital Ambassador. This prompted me to renew my hunt for a bank that would take me on as a customer.
