Ensure reliable systems for identities and identification, and improved ways to access and to exchange relevant data

Shortcomings in identity administration have contributed to extensive problems with organised crime. Various forms of identity misuse are part of fraud and welfare crime. Intensive efforts are required to ensure an identity administration system that is reliable, coherent and sustainable over time.

Government agencies and other relevant actors must have adequate tools to effectively collect, process and exchange relevant data and information. Government agencies currently operate primarily based on data available in separate systems rather than relevant available data from different sources. This leads to a weaker capacity for society to prevent, counter and fight organised crime than could be the case.  

Objective

Swedish identity administration must be reliable and solid, and not be vulnerable to misuse or exploitation for criminal purposes.  Government agencies and other relevant actors must have adequate tools to effectively collect, process and exchange relevant data and information to prevent and investigate crime.
