An e-ID for Foreign Citizens
Citizens of all EU/EEA countries as well as Ukraine and the United Kingdom can register in Freja with their biometric passport.
This applies to:
- people living in Sweden but are not Swedish citizens,
- people living outside of Sweden
This means that, with Freja, your business may interact with roughly 500 million people across Europe.
If your business needs to interact with them, Freja is the only e-ID in Sweden that can enable this.
Overcome the Challenge of Internationalisation with Freja
While the concept of an e-ID is very well-known in Sweden, applying the same principles of their use across the European continent is a much bigger challenge due to the patchwork of difference legislations, adoption of digital identities etc.
Any business wanting to either expand their digital presence outward, or interact with foreign citizens within their home country has had to navigate this issue by implementing solutions such as passwords which are unsafe and wholly inferior to e-IDs when it comes to identity proofing.
Levels of Assurance for Foreign Users
Freja offers different LOA depending on the end user and related factors.
LOA2 is offered to foreign users with a biometric passport
LOA3 is offered to foreign users who also have a verified Swedish coordination number.
In the table we display the approvals we currently have for these nationalities. We are continuously working on getting approval as we add more countries.
