All correspondence addressed to the authority is registered and may become official documents

As a government agency, the Swedish Prosecution Authority is obliged to register official documents received by the authority, including letters, emails and faxes. Once registered, correspondence will be forwarded, usually on the same day, to the correct person within the Swedish Prosecution Authority.

There are however certain exceptions to the requirement to register official documents. These exceptions are set out in the Swedish Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act (SFS 2009:400) and primarily relate to documents of little or no importance to the authority’s operations. Official documents may also be weeded out in accordance with the Swedish Prosecution Authority’s decision no. ÅM-A 2011/1504 (only available in Swedish).
