This is not an exhaustive list — the authoritative, always-current set of qualified providers is Sweden's national trusted list, indexed by the EU LOTL. Sealium validates against the live list, so new providers are recognised automatically.
How to validate Sweden signatures
Send the document to the Sealium API and it resolves Sweden's trusted list automatically, returning each signature's eIDAS level, signer, certificate chain, revocation status and timestamps as a structured report — no per-country configuration required.
Frequently asked questions
Is an electronic signature legally valid in Sweden?
Yes. As an EU participant in the eIDAS framework, Sweden recognises electronic signatures, and a qualified electronic signature (QES) has the same legal effect as a handwritten one. Sweden's qualified providers are published on its national trusted list, which is indexed by the EU List of Trusted Lists.
Who publishes Sweden's trusted list?
Sweden's trusted list is published under the supervision of PTS (Swedish Post and Telecom Agency) and referenced by the EU List of Trusted Lists.
How do I validate a Sweden electronic signature?
Check the signature against Sweden's national trusted list (via the EU LOTL): verify integrity, build the certificate chain, check revocation and any timestamp, and read the eIDAS level. Sealium does all of this in one /v1/validate API call and returns a structured report.
