Sweden: Not Routinely Checked (Still Recommended). Not routinely checked, but a notarized letter is universally recommended regardless of destination.
Sweden doesn't routinely check for this at the border, but a notarized letter is still universally recommended regardless of destination — individual officers and airlines retain discretion to ask.
The absent parent's or guardian's full name, signature, and contact information; the traveling parent's or companion's name and relationship to the child; the specific travel dates and destination(s); and notarization — a signature alone usually isn't enough.
Regardless of the enforcement level shown, every government and airline recommends carrying a notarized parental/guardian consent letter for any minor traveling without both legal parents — it's the single cheapest, easiest way to avoid a problem with an individual officer or check-in agent anywhere in the world. Requirements can also apply on departure, not just arrival, so check both directions of your trip.
