Getting Ready for Your Digital Mailbox
- To create a personal digital mailbox, you must be at least 18 years old and possess a valid Swedish e-legitimation, such as BankID, Freja eID Plus, or AB Svenska Pass.
- For businesses, the authorized signatory (firmatecknare) must be a physical person registered with the company. The service is available for various legal forms, including limited companies (aktiebolag), economic associations (ekonomisk förening), tenant-owner associations (bostadsrättsförening), trading companies (handelsbolag), and limited partnerships (kommanditbolag). If you operate a sole proprietorship (enskild firma), you register as a private individual.
- You will need a Swedish personal identity number (personnummer) or coordination number (samordningsnummer) to fully utilize the service. While foreign e-IDs (Foreign eID) allow login, they currently do not grant full access to the mailbox due to lack of connection with Swedish identity numbers.
- Access to a modern web browser is essential for the best experience. Recommended browsers include Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari.

When You Encounter Digital Mailbox Difficulties
⚠️ Login Issues (e.g., 'Användaren saknar behörighet' - User lacks authorization)
Cause: Temporary service disruptions or browser-related data conflicts.
Solution: If you experience difficulty signing in, try logging out of Min Myndighetspost and closing all browser windows. Next, clear your browser's cookies, ideally for the last week or more. Repeat this for all browsers you use. After clearing, restart your browser and attempt to sign in again. This often resolves unexpected access blocks.
⚠️ Questions about message content
Cause: Uncertainty regarding the information within a received digital message.
Solution: For any questions regarding the content of a message, always contact the specific authority or public entity that sent the message. They are responsible for the information they dispatch.
⚠️ E-legitimation problems
Cause: Issues with your digital identification method itself.
Solution: If your e-legitimation (like BankID) is not functioning correctly, you should contact the issuer of your e-legitimation directly for support. Min Myndighetspost relies on these external services for authentication.
Keeping Your Digital Government Mail Secure
- 🔒 Always sign in using your e-legitimation: This ensures that only you, with your verified digital identity, can access your sensitive official communications.
- 🔒 Regularly check your mailbox: Just like physical mail, you are responsible for checking your digital mailbox for new messages, even if notifications are sometimes delayed or missed.
- 🔒 Be cautious of phishing attempts: Min Myndighetspost will not include direct links to its website in emails or SMS. Always navigate to minmyndighetspost.se directly to avoid fraudulent websites.
- 🔒 Keep your e-legitimation secure: Treat your e-legitimation with the same care as your physical ID documents and bank cards; do not share your login details.
- 🔒 Ensure your browser is up-to-date: Using a modern, updated web browser helps maintain a secure connection to the digital portal.
