How to Register a Right Hand Drive Car in Sweden
Known for its efficient cultural ethos, Sweden unsurprisingly makes registering an automobile a relatively simple process. In fact, most of the essential paperwork can be completed with a few simple clicks online. While Swedes drive on the right side of the road and left-hand drive cars are typical, there is no penalty for registering a right-hand drive car in Sweden. The registration process is the same for both right-hand and left-hand drive vehicles.
