Translate Swedish PDFs & documents to English scanned or digital — without breaking the layout

It depends on which one you need. Of the several kinds of personbevis the Tax Agency lists, only the Utdrag om folkbokföringsuppgifter comes in English; the rest are in Swedish. If you have been asked for one of the Swedish-only kinds, or you already hold an older certificate in Swedish, scan it to PDF and upload it to see first what each field says. Whether a certified translation is needed for formal submission is up to the receiving organization.

Yes. The bouppteckning lists the assets and debts of the person who died and of a surviving spouse, and it has to be submitted to the Tax Agency for registration within four months of the death. Once registered, it states who is entitled to act for the estate, and banks often need to see it before they will let anyone use the deceased's accounts. The English version follows the original layout, with the heirs and the figures for property, savings and debts in their original positions, so when you discuss it with a lawyer or the bank, both of you are looking at the same page. For a property transfer or a tax filing, provide whichever kind of translation the office handling it requires.

On a clear print, generally not. In very small type or on a blurry scan, the ring on å and the dots on ä are easily confused, and ö can be taken for o. Note also that in the machine-readable zone at the bottom of a passport, Ö is often written OE and Å as AA, so the same person may appear as Öberg in one foreign system and Oeberg in another. Check every name that has to match an ID against the passport, one by one.
