This is 100% WRONG.
Anyone can call the tax office and ask for the full person number of any person and they will give it.
Swedes are super confused about this so lots of people do the thing you talk about and think it's private but it's absolutely not. This disconnect between folk lore and reality is quite dangerous as people who believe the folk lore can start doing stupid shit like accepting the personnummer as alone being a guarantee of anything.
- drakonka 4y agoI'm not sure if you read the entirety of my comment, but I learned this shortly after posting and made an edit. I'm curious about this part of your comment: > so lots of people do the thing you talk about What is "the thing" you're referring to?
- boxed 4y agoYour edit contains: > Some of these lookup sites may reveal the personnummer on registration and possibly payment "some"? It's THE TAX OFFICE OF THE COUNTRY "may"? WILL "on registration"? No. YOU JUST CALL THEM. No questions asked. Your comment with the edit is still enormously wrong.

I'm not sure why you're so offended about someone being wrong on the Internet, but I assure you it happens a lot. Hopefully all that caps helped you get some stress out though.
