You must apply for authorisation if you wish to employ a minor under the age of 13. For example, you need authorisation for a child to rehearse or work in cultural or artistic events, as extras or artistes, or at sporting or advertising events.

It is the Swedish Work Environment Authority which grants authorisation to engage minors and it is we too who examine issues relating to working times.

Send the application no later than four weeks before the work is to begin.

For minors between the ages of 13 and 18 you may also have to seek authorisation if you wish to be exempt from the rules on working time.

How to apply

  1. Fill out the application
    • Fill out the form below.
    • Please note that you need to fill in the form and submit your application at the same time.
  2. Send your application to us
    • Click on the submit-button in the form.

You may send an application even if you have not decided which minor or minors to employ in the production. We can make two types of decision:

  • a specific decision relating to named minors
  • a general decision relating to a certain number of minors of a certain age.

You may apply in the same application for authorisation for several minors with different dates, where the same production is concerned.

It is important that you fill in all the information in the application. Otherwise, you may need to supplement the application and your authorisation may be delayed.

If the application does not contain all the information necessary, we will get in touch and ask for it to be supplemented. You will then have two weeks to supplement the application, but you can have more time if you request it. If we do not receive the supplementary information, we will normally reject the application.

Once the application is complete, we will make a decision. We will send the decision by email to the contact person. If you have not given an email address in the application, we will send the decision by letter.

  1. You have the right to appeal our decision
    The decision letter will set out what you need to do.
  2. We will decide whether to reassess the application
    We will first decide whether to reassess the application. If we do so and decide to change our initial decision, you will receive notification, normally by email.
  3. If we do not re-assess the application, the appeal will be brought before a court of law
    We will send your appeal to the administrative court in the region in which the decision on your appeal was taken.

Contact the administrative court if you wish to follow the progress of your appeal.
