When a company, an association, or a foundation acquires or transfers a property, more documents than just the document of sale or deed of gift to be submitted.
Company
During a merger, the company applies for registration of ownership using a registration certificate from the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket), indicating that the merger has been completed, along with an application for registration. More information about mergers is available in the Manual for Property Registration
Non-profit association
If the transferor or acquirer of the property is a non-profit association, in most cases the following documents need to be submitted along with the application for registration of ownership:
- the statutes of the association
- minutes from a qualified meeting with a decision to sell or purchase the property (complete property designation should be provided)
- minutes or other documentation showing who or which individuals were authorized signatories when the acquisition deed was signed
- registration certificate or extract from the association register if the association is registered. You can order the registration certificate or extract from the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket, new window)
Foundation
If the transferor or acquirer of the property is a foundation, the following documents need to be submitted along with the application for registration of ownership:
- the foundation's statutes or the foundation instrument
- an extract from the foundation register, which is available from the County Administrative Board (Länsstyrelsen), showing who or which individuals are authorized signatories
- if the foundation is not registered, the foundation instrument or other documentation showing who or which individuals represent the foundation is required instead
