The prin­ciple of public access to offi­cial records

The Swedish Migration Agency is a government authority. As such, the Migration Agency must adhere to the principle of public access to official records. This means that all documents, including personal data, submitted to the Migration Agency become public records, which may be handed over to any person who asks for them. However, sometimes the information can be made confidential, in which case it may not be shared.
