Power of attorney and representative at Migrationsverket

With a power of attorney (fullmakt), you give someone the right to represent you at the Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket), for example to apply, receive the decision or appeal on your behalf. You can give the power of attorney to us, and we then become your representative (ombud) in the case.

Who it is for

For you if you have a case at the Migration Agency and want someone else to handle the contact, for example because you find the language difficult, live abroad or would rather not keep track of every letter. The service also suits anyone who just wants help writing a power of attorney correctly, for a family member or an employer.

How we help you

The Migration Agency has its own form for power of attorney in open cases (106011). You can also write your own letter, but it must then contain the same information. We fill in the power of attorney with you so that it is clear who the representative is and what the representative may do. If more than one person is to be able to represent you, known as substitution, all their names must be included.

You sign the power of attorney yourself. Then you scan or photograph it, and the copy is sent with the application. Keep the original, because the Migration Agency may ask to see it.

If you give the power of attorney to us, we become your representative. The Migration Agency then sends decisions and questions in the case to us, and we keep you informed. If you want to end the assignment, you revoke the power of attorney, and there is a separate form for this.

Good to know

As your representative, we handle contact with the Migration Agency, but we cannot promise how the case will end. If the case goes on to the migration court, we assess in each case whether we can act as your representative or whether you need an advokat (a member of the Swedish Bar Association), and we tell you before you pay anything. The Migration Agency may also ask you to take part in person, for example at an interview. We do not take asylum cases, protection cases, deportation or detention.

How it works

  3. 3You sign. We fill in the power of attorney, and you sign it and send a copy.
  4. 4We take over the contact. The Migration Agency contacts us, and we keep you informed.
