Disadvantages of not activating the P- Number in Sweden

P Number or Person Number is very much important if you are in Sweden. Even though, if you have the person number, it remains useless, unless it's activated. There are certain for the P Number to get activated in Sweden. The person should hold at least one year of resident permit, to extend their p number. Even though, they have 9 months or 10 months of residence permit, it remains useless. This P Number is usually issued by the Commune, which we reside. The basic thing to get the P Number is one address, which says that you are registered to that following address.

Even though, you live in the same address, after your extension and if your residence permit is issued 9 or 10 months, it still remains invalid. Also it depends upon the officer, who is handling the case in the tax office.
