In a midday news conference, officials said the 39-year-old Uzbek man, who has not been publicly identified, was denied permanent residency status in June and was sought for deportation last summer.
Carl Forsaljare, a magazine seller, was in the area during the attack but said he was not surprised it happened in peaceful Sweden.
Jonas Hysing, of Sweden's national police said: "We know he has been sympathetic to extremist organisations".
Earlier on Monday, people gathered outside the upscale department store where the lorry ploughed into a crowd of shoppers. He was known to intelligence services since past year when he disappeared before he could be deported after his application for asylum was rejected.
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven on Saturday visited the site of the attack, saying that while the country remained in shock, "we shall take us through this together". "We need to find strength one way or another", she said.
In all, Jan Evenssen of the Stockholm police said authorities have questioned over 500 people in the investigation so far.
Four people were killed in the crash and 15 others were injured.
Police are still questioning the main suspect, who has been named as Rakhmat Akilov by the Swedish media. Also killed in the attack were two Swedish people, including an eleven year old girl, and a Belgian woman in the city as a tourist.
