Inform Us
If you have received a Swedish personal identity number, you need to inform the university since that information does not reach us automatically. Your temporary ID number (T-number) should be replaced if you have a Swedish Personal Number. Please visit the Service Center at Jönköping University and bring your JU-card and the decision from Skatteverket (or an ID-card with the Swedish personal number on it).
New in Sweden
The Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) has films that can help you when you're new in Sweden.
Among other things there's information about the Personal Identity Number, things to consider when moving to Sweden, or if you move within Sweden.
