What You Can Do With Your ID Card In Sweden and Abroad

Assuming you are talking about a Swedish National ID Card, also called an ID-kort, there are three main things you can do with it: travel, vote, and prove your identity.

Travel: An ID-kort is valid for travel within the EU/Schengen Area. This means that you can use it to travel to any country within the EU/Schengen Area without a passport. The only exception is if you are traveling to the United Kingdom, Ireland, or Cyprus, which are not part of the Schengen Area. In those cases, you will need a passport in addition to your ID-kort.

Vote: In Sweden, you can use your ID-kort to vote in elections. This includes both national and local elections. You can also use your ID-kort to vote by mail or absentee ballot.

Prove your identity: You can use your ID-kort to prove your identity in many situations. For example, you can use it to open a bank account, get a job, or sign a contract. You can also use it to get government benefits or services.
