Change of ownership

If an aircraft which is registered in Sweden changes owners, an application for change of ownership has to be made.

New routine regarding registration and updating of emergency transmitter ELT406

As of March 1, 2022, the Swedish Maritime Administration is the responsible authority for handling owner/holder contact information for ELT406 for Swedish-registered civil aircraft.

At the same time that the Swedish Maritime Administration takes over responsibility, new routines are introduced which mean that an owner/holder is responsible for administering (registering and updating) their information about ELT406 in the International Beacon Registration Database (IBRD).

The following documents are needed to make a change of ownership:

Anmälan om äganderättsändring (TSL 7637) (Application for change of ownership, Swedish only), original document
Fångeshandling (TSL 7642) or Bill of Sale (TSL 7641), original document or certified true copy.
Certificate of Registration, original document
Certificate of insurance according to Regulation (EC) No 785/2004, which shows the Swedish registration mark (original document or certified true copy). The insurance company must be approved by Finansinspektionen.
Application for Exemption (TSL7643) (only for companies or citizens with a nationality outside of the EEA (European Economic Area)) – original document.

We will also need the following documents of authority for:

...companies

Certificate of registration from the Swedish Companies Registration Office, showing authorised signatories for the company. This document needs to be an original document or a certified true copy, and no older than 6 months.

For foreign companies a document is required which is equivalent to the certificate of registration from the Swedish Companies Registration Office, or authentic documents where the country's notary public confirms the existence and authorised signatories of the company. This document needs to be an original document and can be no older than 6 months.

...flying club

Extract from minutes showing authorised signatories of the club. This document needs to be an original document or a certified true copy and can be no older than 12 months.
Statutes (required if the flying club has just been formed or if the statutes have been updated).

...private persons

Birth certificate which shows citizenship. This document needs to be an original document or a certified true copy and can be no older than 12 months.
Foreign citizens: certified true copy of a valid passport.

Radio transmitter license

When de-registering the aircraft you also need to contact the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS), as the aircraft's license for radio transmitter needs to be revoked by them. Application form and more information on how to contact them can be found on their website.
