Nothing here is our opinion.
Every step is built on an official Swedish source, and we show you which one — so you can check it yourself before you act.
Where every step comes from
Every step traces back to an official source

We built this because we needed it
We moved to the Swedish countryside with two young children. The information was all out there — but keeping the overview was the hard part: personnummer, BankID, folkbokföring, preschool, healthcare, all running at once. We missed one registration and felt how quickly a move gets tangled. So we built the tool we wished we'd had: a simple overview with tasks you can check off and a plan that keeps the thread. This is our experience — not a promise about yours; your plan always points you to the official source.
— The Hemvia founders
What Hemvia is — and what it isn't
- Is: A planning tool. It structures public official information into clear steps, keeps them in an order that fits your situation, and shows you the source behind each one.
- Isn't: An adviser. Hemvia doesn't decide whether you qualify for anything, doesn't submit anything for you, and doesn't replace the authority that makes the decision. Whether and when you can be registered is decided by the Swedish authorities and banks, based on your situation.
We'd rather tell you that plainly than let you find out later.
