Swedish documents

I was wondering if there were any Swedes in here who have filed a DS-230. This is the situation. I am an American citizen, my wife a Swedish citizen. We were married last summer in Sweden. We are about to file the DS-230 and for the my wife's "Birth Certificate", we have

Personbevis - maiden name (in Swedish issued by Skatteverket)

Personbevis - married name (in Swedish issued by Sketteverket)

Personbevis - maiden name (In English issued by Skatteverket)

Personbevis - married name (In English issued by Skatteverket)

My question is, do we need BOTH names (married and maiden) and does the English verson issued by the Skatteverket suffice for a "certified translation"?...or do should I get the Swedish versions translated by English by a translator?

If naybody knows anything or has gone thru this I would appreciate it. I cant find any information on this topic.

Hi there.

I'm a Swede, living in Ireland, in the process to acquire a K1 visa.

I emailed "Skatteverket" asking them for a "Personbevis"

What I did was to ask for a "Personbevis 120 med alla relationer" in English.

I mentioned it was for a Visa for the US and I also gave them my "Personnummer" and my current "Address".

The 120 with all relations includes information on ones parents too (which you fill out on the DS-230).

It took them like 3 days to produce and send it! With stamps etc.

Good luck.

I'm a man so I have only had one name (and I've never been married).

In Sweden we base our identity around our "personnummer" which uniquely identifies all of us.

So if her "personbevis 120" shows her personnummer and her police report shows her personnummer that's the link.

The Personbevis should list married and maiden name, not sure the police report will.

But they will base their search on the Personnummer not the name.

Don't know the answer to that question, don't think there is one.
