Swedish term or phrase: usage of 'Folkbokförd i Sverige''
This phrase was translated as 'Are you registered in Sweden?'. Now what do they mean by being 'registered'? Registered where? Registered with the Tax Authority or registered for voting in Sweden?

I suppose it would be the Tax Authority but can someone shed some light on that. please?

registered with the Swedish Tax Agency
Explanation:
In direct response to your question, yes, it means that the individual is Registered with the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket).

That is what "registered" means in this context.


(Note that they call themselves the Swedish Tax Agency (not the Swedish Tax Authority.)

As has already been pointed out and discussed here, being "Folkbokförd" refers to being entered in the population registry (folkbokföringsregister).

So maybe it is not entirely correct to say "Registered with the Swedish Tax Agency," as I did above, but rather "registered in the population registry maintained by the Swedish Tax Agency." (if one wants to be more precise)

disagree  Deane Goltermann: folkbokföring refers to being registered in the country for everything -- taxes, benefits, voting, and all. Which, of course includes domiciled (but is not limited to).

  -> Those that are domiciled in the kingdom of Sweden do indeed get certain rights and obligations, but they do not get the right to vote in parliamentary elections; that right is reserved for Swedish nationals. Google "domiciled in Sweden"!

neutral  Charlesp: one has to be "domiciled" in Sweden to be "Folkbokförd i Sverige," but domicle alone doesn't make one Folkbokförd. So it depends upon context.

agree  Deane Goltermann: Right, 'registered'. There is no context here, this is a legal term with only one meaning. The asker had it right and my wiki links explain it all.
