Permits are required for some specific natural locations. The cost of a permit varies according to the location as well as the nature and size of the production. Stockholm Film Commission recommends all international productions to work with a local location manager and a production company. If you are not causing any disturbance in the area you are shooting in, you do not need a shooting permit, but it is always a good idea to contact local authorities when shooting on public ground. A police permit costing SEK 500 can be obtained at a local police station.

Copyright is the right that the creator of a literary or artistic work has over the work in question. Copyright exists automatically when the work satisfies the relevant requirements ('verkshöjd' in Swedish). 'Verkshöjd' is a measure of the originality, individuality and independence of a work. Copyright does not need to be asserted by way of registration or similar procedures. Ref: http://www.government.se/sb/d/2707/a/15195
