Sweden Number & Sender Rules (PTS)

Sweden (SE) sits in Orbit’s regulated number-purchase set, so a Swedish DID order opens only after an approved compliance profile is attached. Traffic into Sweden sits under the Electronic Communications Act (Lag (2022:482) om elektronisk kommunikation, LEK) and the Marketing Act (Marknadsföringslag (2008:486)), overseen by PTS, the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority, with the NIX register as the national opt-out list for voice and direct mail. This page expands the SE row of the country-requirements matrix so you can assemble the profile before your first Swedish order. Sweden is a tenant-owned burden. Orbit keeps the country-rules reference and the purchase gate; the legal posture is yours.
This page is documentation, not legal advice. The Marketing Act’s opt-in rule and LEK’s communications provisions are enforced against the sender, and PTS numbering rules bind whoever terminates traffic into Sweden. Have counsel review your consent and CLI practice; Orbit supplies the surfaces.

Where Orbit gates Swedish number purchases

SE is a member of the platform’s phone_number_purchase regulated set (DE, GB, FR, BR, MX, IN, JP, FI, NL, SE) — the same registry that drives the compliance-profile wizard. Sweden is the strictest packet of the three Nordic markets: the carrier asks for the identity document as a required role, not an optional one.
1

Create the profile

POST /api/v1/compliance/compliance-profiles with country_code: "SE" and use_case: "phone_number_purchase". The wizard surfaces the Swedish packet: required business registration certificate (business_doc), proof of address (address_proof, dated within 90 days), and government-issued ID (id_proof). The data fields are the business identity block (registered name, registration number, address, contact person, email, phone) plus website and the use-case description with sub-allocation disclosure.
2

Submit and wait for carrier review

Submission fans the bundle to the carrier for review, typically a few business days; the carrier’s Sweden requirement list also expects the recipient of the numbers to be reachable in Sweden at purchase time, which you attest in the profile. The gate opens only on approved. See the KYC Profile Submission Runbook.
3

Order the number

Place the Swedish order with the approved profile attached (compliance_profile_id). Without an approved profile the order gate answers the same 422 as a missing profile (COMPLIANCE_PROFILE_REQUIRED / COMPLIANCE_PROFILE_NOT_APPROVED), and a number bought ahead of approval lands at pending_compliance and cannot originate traffic until the profile is attached and the carrier confirms.

PTS posture: opt-in, NIX, and the international traffic path

Opt-in marketing. The Marketing Act makes prior consent the rule for electronic direct marketing to individuals; the NIX register is the opt-out list you scrub for voice campaigns and address-based marketing. Swedish recipients revoking consent must stop on every channel. The international traffic path. PTS numbering and caller-ID rules apply to traffic terminating in Sweden regardless of where the call or message originates. If you send into Sweden from a non-Swiss number inventory — the international path — two obligations travel with the traffic: present an accurate, reachable CLI on voice (no spoofed or withheld presentation on marketing calls), and keep the originating identity traceable for traceback requests. These are tenant posture items on top of the platform’s routing; Orbit’s softswitch-routed outbound does not relieve you of them. The live SE row orients the sender side; read it before launch:

Worked phone_number_purchase profile for SE

Attach the registration certificate as business_doc, a proof of address dated within 90 days as address_proof, and the signatory’s passport as id_proof. All three are required for Sweden.
