Population registration in Sweden is the civil registration of vital events of the inhabitants of Sweden. The data is kept in the population registry and is administered by the Swedish Tax Agency. The registry spans several centuries and is thus often used by genealogists.

One can order a registry extract about oneself, and one is entitled to obtain all records of oneself in the registry according to Section 26 of the Personal Data Act. The information is publicly available, except for people needing secrecy, such as people threatened with violence.
