Registry entry

Sweden Application for Registration of a New Vehicle

Apply to the Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) to register a brand-new vehicle in Sweden's road traffic register (vägtrafikregistret), using Transportstyrelsen Form TS8003 ('Ansökan om registrering av ett nytt fordon | Application for registration of a new vehicle'). This form is used only for a genuinely new vehicle: one brought into Sweden by a Transportstyrelsen-approved registered importer, or one professionally manufactured in Sweden; a used vehicle, or a new vehicle lacking either of those two permits, instead requires an 'ursprungskontroll' (origin-check) application, which this document does not model. This is Sweden's first DMV-vertical schema; Sweden's other verticals are se/bolagsverket/aktiebolag-formation (Business Formation) and Passport/Taxes/Visa/National ID (not yet modelled). It does not submit anything or imply government endorsement.

Field reference

40 fields across 6 steps, read from the published schema.json, with names, types, requiredness, and validation as the document states them. The live government form remains the authoritative source.

Vehicle origin

  • originType enum required

    This form covers only these two origin cases for a genuinely new vehicle; a used vehicle, or a new vehicle lacking either permit, instead requires a separate 'ursprungskontroll' (origin-check) application, not modelled here.

    enum: imported_by_registered_importer | manufactured_in_sweden
  • importerOrManufacturerOrgNumber string required

    Importer's or manufacturer's organisation number

    length: 1–30classification: sensitive-pii
  • importerOrManufacturerEmail string required

    The form's own guide states this email address is not stored in the road traffic register; it is used only for this case.

    length: 1–200classification: pii
  • importerOrManufacturerPhone string optional

    Importer's or manufacturer's telephone number

    length: 0–30classification: pii
  • ownerIsSameAsImporter boolean optional

    Only meaningful when the vehicle was imported by a registered importer; gates whether an import certificate or manufacturer's certificate must be attached (see documents[].importOrManufacturerCertificate).

Vehicle owner

  • ownerFullName string required

    Vehicle owner's surname and first name

    length: 1–200classification: pii
  • ownerIdOrOrgNumber string required

    Vehicle owner's personal identity number, or organisation number if the owner is a legal entity

    length: 1–30classification: sensitive-pii
  • ownerPhone string required

    Vehicle owner's telephone number

    length: 1–30classification: pii

Vehicle details

  • vehicleType enum required

    Coded per the form's own guide: Personbil (car) = PB, Lastbil (truck) = LB, Buss (bus) = BUSS, Släpvagn (trailer) = SLÄP, Traktor (tractor) = TR, Motorcykel (motorcycle) = MC, Moped klass I (class I moped) = MOPED, Motorredskap (motorised implement) = MRED, Terränghjuling (ATV) = TGHJUL, Snöskoter (snowmobile) = TGSNÖ, Terrängvagn (all-terrain vehicle/trailer) = TGV.

    enum: 11 values
  • makeType string required

    Make/type (Fabrikat/typ)

    length: 1–100
  • baseVehicleMake string optional

    Applies to vehicles approved for registration in multiple manufacturing stages (e.g. a chassis manufacturer's base vehicle later completed by a bodybuilder); out of scope for a single-stage vehicle.

    length: 0–100
  • tradeDesignation string required

    Trade designation (Handelsbeteckning)

    length: 1–100
  • makeCode string optional

    Make code (Fabrikatskod), assigned by the registered importer or professional manufacturer

    length: 0–30
  • groupNumber string optional

    Group number (Gruppnummer), assigned by the registered importer or professional manufacturer

    length: 0–30
  • identificationNumber string required

    Identification number (chassis/frame/manufacturing number, i.e. VIN)

    length: 1–30
  • manufactureYearMonthOrModelYear string optional

    Required to establish the vehicle's model year for every vehicle type except motorised implements (motorredskap), for which the form's own guide states this information is not required. A model year may additionally be given for a vehicle without EC type-approval.

    length: 0–30
  • color enum required

    Vehicle colour

    enum: 9 values

Technical data registration and number plates

  • technicalDataViaIndividualApproval boolean optional

    Should the vehicle's technical data be registered via a single/individual approval (enskilt godkännande)?

  • typeApprovalNumber string optional

    Type-approval number for the vehicle's most recent manufacturing stage

    length: 0–60
  • technicalDataViaEcoc boolean optional

    When true, Transportstyrelsen retrieves the eCoC itself; it must not be attached to the application. When false and the vehicle instead has a paper-format Certificate of Conformity, that document must be attached (see documents[].certificateOfConformity).

  • plateOrdinaryFront boolean optional

    Cars, trucks, and buses require two plates (front and back); other vehicle types require one plate of the size/format appropriate to the vehicle type.

  • plateOrdinaryBack boolean optional

    Ordinary plate (520×110 mm), back

  • plateSmallFront boolean optional

    Small plate (300×110 mm), front

  • plateSmallBack boolean optional

    enum: yes | no
  • endOfSeriesDispensationCaseNumber string optional

    Applies only to a vehicle granted an end-of-series dispensation (slutseriedispens); a copy of Transportstyrelsen's decision must then be attached (see documents[].endOfSeriesDispensationDecision), and — if the dispensation was not issued to the applicant — a power of attorney is also required, which this document does not model.

    length: 0–60

Putting into service, leasing, and credit

  • putIntoServiceRequested boolean optional

    A vehicle is automatically taken out of service (avställt) upon registration; this checkbox requests it be put into service instead. Putting a vehicle into service (other than a trailer) requires it to be covered by traffic insurance, evidenced physically by the insurer's self-adhesive proof-of-insurance mark on the paper form itself, which this document does not model as a separate field.

  • isLeasing boolean optional

    Is the vehicle being registered under a leasing arrangement?

  • isCreditPurchase boolean optional

    Is the vehicle being registered under a credit (hire) purchase arrangement?

  • creditEndDate date optional

    Credit end date

  • financierOrgNumber string optional

    Lessor's or creditor's organisation number

    length: 0–30classification: financial

Usage type and signature

  • usedAsTrafficTractor boolean optional

    Applicable to tractors, motorised implements, and heavy all-terrain vehicles/trailers drawn by them, whose usage classification affects roadworthiness-testing and vehicle-tax obligations.

    For a tractor, motorised implement, or heavy all-terrain vehicle (and trailers drawn by them), describe how the vehicle is used, what it transports, whether it operates on public roads, and which vehicles draw it.

    length: 0–1000
  • signerPrintedName string required

    The form is signed by the importer or manufacturer (from §1), not necessarily the vehicle owner.

    length: 1–200classification: pii
  • signaturePlace string required

    Place of signature

    length: 1–100
  • signatureDate date required

    Date of signature

Research trail (GOV-2063, "GovSchema Standard Research")

This cycle's task brief asks (phase 1) to catalog what the registry already covers and (phase 2) to research online for missing government portals/forms/systems. Phase 1 found the registry at 29 jurisdictions, 319 published schemas, with Sweden (opened GOV-2056) at 1 of its 6 verticals (Business Formation only). se/bolagsverket/aktiebolag-formation's own closing note flagged Sweden's other five verticals (Passport, DMV, Taxes, Visa, National ID) as open, unscreened backlog candidates for a future cycle — the natural, already-identified next step, rather than re-screening already-gated jurisdictions or searching for a 30th country from scratch.

A scouting pass across all five remaining Swedish verticals found:

  • DMV (Transportstyrelsen) — strong: Form TS8003 is a genuine, unauthenticated, directly downloadable fillable AcroForm PDF, with the authority's own field-by-field guide embedded in the same PDF.
  • Taxes (Skatteverket) — weak: the income-tax return has moved to e-service-first; no current downloadable blank paper form was found, and the official field-by-field guide brochure ("Dags att deklarera", SKV 325) has been discontinued in favour of web pages.
  • Passport (Polismyndigheten) — dead end: the entire process is in-person (photo and fingerprints captured at the appointment itself); no home-fillable application form exists, and booking requires e-legitimation login.
  • National ID (Skatteverket/Polisen national ID card) — dead end for the same reason: in-person biometric issuance only. Only a companion guardian-consent form (SKV 1502) is downloadable, not the main application.
  • Visa (Migrationsverket) — confirmed duplicate: Sweden's Schengen visa form (nos. 118031 SV / 119031 EN) is the identical EU-harmonized "Application for Schengen Visa" template already published as fr/france-visas/schengen-visa-application, and separately reconfirmed a duplicate for Spain and Czechia per CATALOG.md's own Known Gaps notes.

DMV was the clear strongest candidate, so this cycle authored se/transportstyrelsen/vehicle-registration-new-vehicle.

A genuine, official, fillable AcroForm PDF (4 pages), retrieved with a direct curl fetch (HTTP 200, no CAPTCHA/BankID/login gate).
  • Field extraction method: pdfjs-dist's getFieldObjects() and page-level getAnnotations() (AcroForm field names, types, and each field's PDF-level Required flag) across pages 1-2 (the only pages carrying form fields — pages 3-4 are pure instructions text), plus getTextContent() for the full text layer across all 4 pages — the same rigor already used for se/bolagsverket/aktiebolag-formation, nl/kvk/bv-formation, and de/gewerbeamt/business-registration. The PDF carries 41 AcroForm fields (23 text, 18 checkbox) across its 2 field -bearing pages; programmatically checked all 41 annotations' required property exposed by pdfjs-dist (derived from PDF fieldFlags bit 2): none set it — the identical "form's own prose, not the PDF's Required bit, is the requiredness signal" pattern already documented for se/bolagsverket/aktiebolag-formation. Pages 3-4 of the same PDF are the form's own official Swedish-language, section-numbered field-by-field guide (items 1-4, matching the numbered sections on pages 1-2), used directly to write each field's description and to resolve which sections are conditional.

What was confirmed against the source

| Source element | Field(s) | |---|---| | §1 (p.1): vehicle origin (imported by registered importer / manufactured in Sweden), importer/manufacturer contact | originType, importerOrManufacturerOrgNumber, importerOrManufacturerEmail, importerOrManufacturerPhone, ownerIsSameAsImporter | | p.1 "Uppgifter om fordonsägaren": vehicle owner | ownerFullName, ownerIdOrOrgNumber, ownerPhone | | §2 (p.1), guide item 2 (p.3): vehicle details, coded vehicle-type/colour lists | vehicleType, makeType, baseVehicleMake, tradeDesignation, makeCode, groupNumber, identificationNumber, manufactureYearMonthOrModelYear, color | | p.1 "Registrera tekniska data", guide item 2 (p.3-4): technical-data registration method | technicalDataViaIndividualApproval, typeApprovalNumber, technicalDataViaEcoc | | p.1 plate-combination checkboxes, guide item 2 (p.4): "Skyltkombination" | plateOrdinaryFront, plateOrdinaryBack, plateSmallFront, plateSmallBack, plateMcMoped, plateSnowmobileAtv | | p.1: registration certificate issuance, end-of-series dispensation | registrationCertificateRequested, endOfSeriesDispensationCaseNumber | | §3 (p.1), guide item 3 (p.4): putting into service, leasing/credit | putIntoServiceRequested, isLeasing, isCreditPurchase, creditEndDate, financierOrgNumber | | §4 (p.2), guide item 4 (p.4): usage type for tractors/motorised implements/heavy terrain vehicles | usedAsTrafficTractor, usedAsClass1ImplementMobileCrane, usedAsHeavyTerrainVehicleTrafficTractor, otherInformation | | p.2 "Underskrift": signature block | signerPrintedName, signaturePlace, signatureDate, documents[].signerHandwrittenSignature | | p.3: CoC attachment rule | documents[].certificateOfConformity | | p.3, item 1.A-B: import/manufacturer certificate attachment rule | documents[].importOrManufacturerCertificate | | p.4: end-of-series dispensation decision attachment | documents[].endOfSeriesDispensationDecision |

What is NOT independently confirmed / out of scope

  • No PDF-level Required flags. As noted above, none of the 41 AcroForm fields set the PDF's own Required bit; required/requiredWhen assignments in this document are derived from the form's own numbered prose instructions and standard registration necessity, not a confirmed submission-time gate.
  • Used-vehicle / origin-check ("ursprungskontroll") path. The form's own opening line states it "can only be used to apply for registration of a new vehicle"; a used vehicle, or a new vehicle lacking either the registered-importer or professional-manufacturer permit, instead requires a separate origin-check application submitted by email to fordonsteknik@transportstyrelsen.se — a distinct process this document does not model, flagged as a future companion-schedule candidate.
  • Multi-stage type-approved vehicles. The form's guide (p.4) notes that when an eCoC contains multiple makes/trade designations across manufacturing stages, the one to be registered "must be stated" and match the eCoC's own format exactly; this document models the underlying baseVehicleMake/makeType/tradeDesignation fields but does not encode that cross-field format-matching rule itself, since it depends on the content of an external, unlinked eCoC record.
  • Power of attorney for a transferred end-of-series dispensation. If an end-of-series dispensation was granted to someone other than the applicant, the guide requires a power of attorney (with the Transportstyrelsen case number) in addition to the decision copy; out of scope as a narrower edge case within an already-narrow dispensation branch.
  • Physical proof-of-insurance sticker. Putting a vehicle into service (except a trailer) requires traffic insurance, evidenced on the paper form itself by a self-adhesive mark the applicant's insurer or its agent supplies — a physical artefact, not a data field or an attachable document, so it is only described in putIntoServiceRequested's description, not modelled as its own documents[] entry.
  • Address decomposition. Owner/importer/manufacturer contact details are modelled as the form's own flat fields (name, ID/org number, phone, email); the form itself has no address field for the owner or importer/manufacturer (only for the deputy-signature block on the Bolagsverket sibling schema, not this form).
  • Email submission channel for the origin-check form. Noted above as an explicitly out-of-scope alternate process, not this document's own submission channel (this form is submitted by post to Transportstyrelsen, 701 81 Örebro, per its own header; a CoC in paper format must additionally be posted in original form, per p.3).
  • Live e-service parity. Not screened this cycle; this document is sourced entirely from the paper/PDF form, matching se/bolagsverket/aktiebolag-formation's own scoping precedent.

Scope and jurisdiction notes

  • Opens Sweden's DMV vertical (2 of 6 verticals now open: Business Formation, DMV). Sweden's other four verticals (Passport, Taxes, Visa, National ID) remain open, either as genuinely unscreened (Taxes, given Skatteverket's e-service migration may still admit a companion form) or as confirmed dead ends/duplicates (Passport, National ID, Visa) per the research trail above.
  • Scoped to a genuinely new vehicle only (the form's own stated scope); the used-vehicle/origin-check path is a disclosed, out-of-scope future companion-schedule candidate, the same class of scoping decision se/bolagsverket/aktiebolag-formation applies to non-cash share-capital contributions.
  • originType and ownerIsSameAsImporter avoid the notEquals-against-an- optional-field pattern flagged as a bug in a prior cycle (documented in this registry's own operating memory as the "notEquals empty-string absent-field bug", first caught in ie/electoral-commission/voter-registration and generalized from GOV-763's numeric notEquals: 0 finding): every requiredWhen condition in this document compares only against a required, always-populated enum field (originType, vehicleType) or a boolean field gated by such an enum (ownerIsSameAsImporter), never against an optional string/number field's absent-vs-sentinel state. documents[].endOfSeriesDispensationDecision's trigger condition ("filled in endOfSeriesDispensationCaseNumber") is deliberately not expressed as a requiredWhen for the same reason — it is folded into the document's own label text instead, since GSP-0013's condition grammar has no safe leaf-compare for "field is present" on an optional string.

Path to a verified claim (next step)

To advance to status: verified, a reviewer confirms the exact requiredness Transportstyrelsen enforces when TS8003 is filed (paper or by email, per p.3's alternate channel for the CoC-attached case), and whether any live e-service equivalent exposes fields this paper-form sourcing does not — recording the outcome here, shipping a new schema version if discrepancies are found (VERSIONING.md §3, immutability).

Test run

A mock conformance/se/transportstyrelsen/vehicle-registration-new-vehicle/1.0.0/application-packet.json scenario (Nordic Import AB, a registered importer, imports a new Volvo XC60 for a customer, Karin Andersson, who is not the importer; technical data registered via eCoC; the car put into service on credit with two ordinary plates) was checked with a from-scratch Node.js script (/tmp/gov2063/check_conformance.mjs, not committed to the repository) re-implementing this document's own required/requiredWhen condition grammar (GSP-0013: equals/notEquals/in/greaterThan/lessThan/ all/any/not). Result: 0 errors across all 40 fields (36 collected, 4 correctly marked not-applicable) and all 4 documents (2 provided, 2 correctly marked not-applicable), with every schema field and document accounted for exactly once (no unaccounted or unknown fields). Three mutation tests confirmed the condition grammar fires correctly in both directions:

  1. Setting technicalDataViaIndividualApproval to true without adding typeApprovalNumber correctly raised 1 missing-required-field error.
  2. Switching financing from isCreditPurchase to isLeasing without financierOrgNumber correctly raised 1 missing-required-field error (confirming the any composition over both financing branches).
  3. Setting ownerIsSameAsImporter to true (owner is the importer) without documents[].importOrManufacturerCertificate correctly raised 0 errors — confirming the document's any/all composed requiredWhen condition correctly becomes false once neither disjunct holds.

The schema was also validated against the GovSchema v0.3 meta-schema with tools/validate-ajv.mjs (pass) and tools/validate.mjs (pass).
