When signing up to a money transfer company to send between Sweden and Norway, you will need to verify your ID.

The exact documents you need might vary and in some cases you will need more than one.

For the most part, in Sweden this will be a government ID like a passport or driver's license. In Norway it will be a similar set of documents, although this should only be needed if you are opening a new account in Norway, or collecting in cash.

Big transactions between Sweden and Norway, are subject to additional checks. A provider may ask you for proof of address or may want to know where the money comes from.

We recommend Wise in part due to their easy sign up process in Sweden.
