Hunting Permit
Foreign hunters who come to Sweden to hunt must pay the hunting permit fee. Login to the Hunting Registry to pay for and retrieve your permit.
If this is your first time hunting in Sweden, you must create an account in the Hunter Registry. Returning hunters already have a profile in the registry, so please log in rather than create a new account.
To hunt on public land in northern Sweden (for example, for forest birds), you must purchase a daily hunting permit in addition to the regular hunting permit . These are issued by the county administrative boards of Jämtland, Norrbotten or Västerbotten. More information can be found on the County Administrative Board's website
Hunting is only allowed during specific seasons, which vary depending on the species. Detailed information on hunting seasons is available in Swedish at the website of Jägareförbundet.
Pay the Hunting Permit fee
Swedish and foreign hunters must pay the permit fee. The permit must be renewed every hunting year, which runs from July 1 to June 30 the following year. The permit must be carried when hunting and must be presented on request from the Police, Coast Guard, County Administrative Board and Customs. The fee is currently 400 SEK per hunting year. This is a national hunting fee and you may also be required to pay further hunting fees depending on where you might be hunting.
Pay the permit fee by logging in to the Hunter Registry. If you already have registered, simply login with your e-mail address and your password, or else, create a new account. When you have paid the permit fee you can download your hunting permit. Print the permit or carry it with you in for example your smartphone.
When you have logged in you can pay the fee for other foreign hunters. You must have their full name, birthdate and home address. Simply click “Guestlist” then create a new guest list. Fill in the information required and pay by using VISA or MasterCard. When the transaction is complete you can download a PDF which contains the hunting permits.
