Name Change in Primula

In Primula, employees’ names are displayed based on the population register held by the Swedish Tax Agency. These details can only be changed through the Swedish Tax Agency. In KI RIMS, you can change your display name yourself.

Names in Primula

Since 1 April, employees’ names are retrieved from the population register maintained by the Swedish Tax Agency.

For individuals with two surnames, for example Emma Ask Johansson, who is now listed only as Emma Johansson in Primula, this is because Ask is registered as a middle name rather than a surname with the Swedish Tax Agency.

Action required for both surnames to be displayed in Primula:
Apply for a double surname with the Swedish Tax Agency

Action required for only one given name to be displayed in Primula:
Specify your preferred given name with the Swedish Tax Agency
