Otteet holhousasioiden rekisteristä

Sinulla on oikeus saada tieto, onko joku edunvalvonnassa ja kuka hänen edunvalvojansa on.

Published by: Digital and Population Data Services Agency · Government organisation

Description language: Finnish

Coverage: Finland, excluding Åland

About this service

Description

Voit kysyä Digi- ja väestötietovirastolta, onko jollain henkilöllä edunvalvoja, kuka hänen edunvalvojansa on ja mitkä ovat edunvalvojan tehtävät. Sinun ei aina tarvitse tilata varsinaista otetta Digi- ja väestötietovirastolta, vaan voit kysyä asiasta esimerkiksi puhelimitse. Edunvalvoja voi kuitenkin tarvita otetta päämiehestään, kun hän toimii tehtävässään. Otteella edunvalvoja voi todistaa asemansa tämän asioiden hoitajana. Lisäksi jokin taho voi pyytää sinulta tietoa siitä, onko sinulla edunvalvojaa. Tällöin voit joko itse pyytää Digi- ja väestötietovirastolta otteen itsestäsi tai jokin muu taho, kuten työnantajasi, voi pyytää Digi- ja väestötietovirastolta sen. ### Mikä holhousasioiden rekisteri on? Se on valtakunnallinen rekisteri, josta Digi- ja väestötietovirasto luovuttaa tietoja eri viranomaisille, yhteisöille ja yksityisille henkilöille. Käytännössä tiedot annetaan yksittäisinä paperitulosteina (ote holhousasioiden rekisteristä). Valtion tai kunnan viranomaiset ja yhteisöt tai elinkeinonharjoittajat, jotka tarvitsevat jatkuvasti rekisterin tietoja hyväksyttävää tarkoitusta varten, voivat saada tietoja rekisteristä suoraan. ### Mitä tietoja voin saada rekisteristä? Voit pyytää Digi- ja väestötietovirastolta seuraavia tietoja: * Onko jollain henkilöllä edunvalvoja? * Kuka hänen edunvalvojansa on? * Mitkä ovat edunvalvojan tehtävät? * Onko henkilön toimintakelpoisuutta rajoitettu? Holhousrekisteristä saa tietoa myös voimassa olevista, taloudellisia asioita koskevista edunvalvontavaltuutuksista eli milloin valtuutus on vahvistettu ja kuka valtuutettu on. Sen sijaan Digi- ja väestötietovirasto ei säilytä vahvistamattomia valtakirjoja eikä pidä rekisteriä vahvistamattomista valtuutuksista, joten niistä ei voi saada tietoja. Kun edunvalvonta on päättynyt tai valtuutuksen voimassaolo lakannut, pyydetyn tiedon saa vain silloin, jos sitä tarvitaan etujen, oikeuksien tai velvollisuuksien hoitamiseen.

How to use it

Tilaa ote holhousasioiden rekisteristä Digi- ja väestötietovirastosta ensisijaisesti verkkolomakkeella. Voit pyytää otetta myös puhelimitse tai tilauslomakkeella. * nimesi ja puhelinnumerosi * sen henkilön nimi ja henkilötunnus, josta tilaat otteen * otteen käyttötarkoitus * maksajan yhteystiedot (nimi ja osoite sekä Y-tunnus, jos laskutettava on yritys) * miten lähetämme otteen sinulle ja mihin osoitteeseen.

Conditions

Tarvitset otetta holhousasioiden rekisteristä mm. erilaisia lupia varten. Myös edunvalvojalla on oikeus saada ote rekisteristä tehtävänsä hoitamista varten.

Fee details

Holhousasioiden rekisteristä annettava ote maksaa 36 euroa. Todistus edunvalvojan tai edunvalvontavaltuutetun asemasta ulkomailla toimimista varten maksaa 60 euroa.

Perinnöstä luopuminen ulosotossa

Voit tallettaa tekemäsi perinnöstä luopumisilmoituksen Digi- ja väestötietovirastoon, jos sinulla on ulosottovelkoja

Published by: Digital and Population Data Services Agency · Government organisation

Description language: Finnish

Coverage: All Finland

About this service

Description

Perillinen tai testamentinsaaja voi luopua perinnöstään joko ennen perinnönjättäjän kuolemaa tai kuoleman jälkeen. Luopumisilmoituksen laatimisessa kannattaa pyytää apua perintöoikeuden asiantuntijalta. Suomessa ei ole mahdollista rekisteröidä perinnöstä luopumisilmoituksia. Jos perinnöstä luopujalla on ulosottovelkoja, voi hän pyytää tekemänsä luopumisilmoituksen tallettamista Digi- ja väestötietovirastoon. Luopumalla perinnöstä ja pyytämällä luopumisilmoituksen tallettamista ennen kuin ulosmittauspäätös on tehty, perinnöstä luopuja estää kuolinpesäosuutensa ulosmittauksen, koska hän ei saa perintöä. Digi- ja väestötietovirastossa ei tarkasteta perinnöstä luopumisen sisältöä tai pätevyyttä. Luopumisilmoituksen tallettamisella on merkitystä vain silloin, jos perinnöstä luopujalla on ulosottovelkoja. Jos kuolinpesä on ylivelkainen, ei perillisten luopumisilmoitusten tallettamisella ole mitään vaikutuksia. Perinnöstä luopuja voi pyytää tekemänsä luopumisilmoituksen tallettamista vasta sitten, kun perinnönjättäjä on kuollut.

How to use it

1. Tee kirjallinen perinnöstä luopumisilmoitus. Pyydä sen laatimiseen apua perintöoikeuden asiantuntijalta. 2. Kun perinnönjättäjä on kuollut, pyydä tekemäsi perinnöstä luopumisilmoituksen tallettamista Digi- ja väestötietovirastoon vain silloin, jos sinulla on ulosottovelkoja. 3. Toimita meille pyyntö tallettaa luopumisilmoitus sekä kopio luopumisilmoituksesta. Teet sen helpoiten verkossa. Vaihtoehtoisesti voit lähettää asiakirjat postitse. 4. Luopumisilmoituksen tallettamispäivä on se päivä, kun olet toimittanut pyynnön ja luopumisilmoituksen meille. 5. Saat noin kuukauden kuluessa todistuksen siitä, että perinnöstä luopumisilmoituksesi on talletettu. 6. Saat erillisen laskun, kun asiasi on käsitelty. 7. Ilmoita viipymättä luopumisilmoituksen tallettamisesta kuolinpesän hoitajalle ja sen osakkaille. 8. Toimita saamasi todistus ulosottoviranomaiselle.

Conditions

* Olet kirjallisella ilmoituksella luopunut perinnöstä joko ennen perinnönjättäjän kuolemaa tai sen jälkeen. * Perinnöstä luopumisilmoituksesi on päivätty ja allekirjoitettu sekä siitä ilmenee kuka luopuu perinnöstä ja kenen jälkeen. * Olet luopunut oikeudestasi koko perintöön. * Kuolinpesäosuutesi ulosmittauspäätöstä ei ole tehty ennen luopumista ja luopumisilmoituksen tallettamista.

Perukirjan osakastietojen vahvistaminen

Voit hakea perukirjan osakastietojen vahvistamista Digi- ja väestötietovirastolta.

Published by: Digital and Population Data Services Agency · Government organisation

Description language: Finnish

Coverage: Finland, excluding Åland

About this service

Description

Voit hakea perukirjan osakastietojen vahvistamista Digi- ja väestötietovirastolta. Vahvistuksen hakeminen ei ole pakollista. Et voi hakea vahvistusta koko perukirjan sisältöön vaan ainoastaan sille, että perukirjaan on merkitty oikeat henkilöt kuolinpesän osakkaiksi. Voit tarvita perukirjan osakastietojen vahvistusta esimerkiksi silloin, kun kuolinpesään kuuluva kiinteistö on tarkoitus myydä. Kuolinpesän osakkaat voivat vahvistuksella osoittaa, että he saavat yhdessä edustaa kuolinpesää kiinteistökaupassa. Kiinteistön ostaja voi puolestaan luottaa siihen, että vahvistettuun perukirjaan merkittyjen osakkaiden kanssa tehty kauppa sitoo kuolinpesää, vaikka myöhemmin ilmenisi, että perukirjasta on puuttunut osakas. Saat vahvistuksen, jos perukirjan liitteinä esitetyistä sukuselvityksistä ja muista asiakirjoista voidaan varmistua, että perukirjaan on merkitty oikeat henkilöt kuolinpesän osakkaiksi. Jos perukirjaan merkityt osakastiedot ovat virheelliset tai et ole toimittanut pyydettyjä lisäselvityksiä, perukirja palautetaan sinulle ilman vahvistusta. Huomaa, että myös peruutetusta tai palautetusta hakemuksesta peritään maksu.

How to use it

* Helpoiten teet hakemuksen perukirjan osakastietojen vahvistamiseksi verkkolomakkeella. * Vaihtoehtoisesti voit tulostaa ja täyttää paperisen hakemuslomakkeen. Postita hakemus, perukirjan oikeaksi todistettu jäljennös sekä perukirjan liitteet jäljennöksinä Digi- ja väestötietovirastolle osoitteeseen PL 1003, 00521 Helsinki.

Conditions

Voit hakea perukirjan osakastietojen vahvistamista, jos olet kuolinpesän osakas, leski, pesänhoitaja, pesänselvittäjä, pesänjakaja tai testamentin toimeenpanija. Voit antaa asiamiehelle valtakirjan hakemuksen tekemiseksi. Jos asiamies on asianajaja, julkinen oikeusavustaja, lupalakimies tai jos valtuutus on kirjattu perukirjaan, asiamiehen ei tarvitse liittää hakemukseen valtakirjaa. Hakemus perukirjan osakastietojen vahvistamiseksi käsitellään vain siinä tapauksessa, että vainajalla on kuolinhetkellä ollut kotikunta Suomessa. Vahvistuksen hakemiselle ei ole määräaikaa, mutta vahvistus on mahdollista ainoastaan vuonna 1966 tai sitä myöhemmin kuolleen henkilön perukirjaan. Voit hakea vahvistusta vain valmiiseen perukirjaan. Sukuselvitykset ja kaikki muut perukirjan liitteet on toimitettava hakemuksen yhteydessä.

Fee details

Vuonna 2025 • 125 €/perukirja, kun osakkaina ovat vain rintaperilliset, vanhemmat ja leski • 223 €/perukirja muissa tapauksissa • peruutettu hakemus tai asiakirjojen palautus vahvistusta antamatta 63 €/perukirja Vuonna 2026 • 137 €/perukirja, kun osakkaina ovat vain rintaperilliset, vanhemmat ja leski • 245 €/perukirja muissa tapauksissa • peruutettu hakemus tai asiakirjojen palautus vahvistusta antamatta 69 €/perukirja

Published by: Digital and Population Data Services Agency · Government organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: All Finland

About this service

Description

Through the interface, a public or private organisation can retrieve real-time data from the Population Information System directly into its own information system. The interface is suitable for an organisation that wants to e.g. * check basic customer information * offer their clients electronic services * verify data during application processing. The Population Information System data disclosed to the organisation and their purpose of use are always agreed on a case-by-case basis with the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. The interface is not intended for regular or extensive updating of data in one's own register or for other mass surveys. For these purposes, the Digital and Population Data Services Agency's update services for customer registers of public administration and private companies and organisations are suitable. Data in the interface is retrieved and received as XML messages.

How to use it

### Apply for a data permit in e-services 1. Go to the e-services. 2. a) If you have already registered as a user of the e-service account, sign in using the email address and password you provided during registration, or through Suomi.fi e-Identification.

Finally, check the information you have provided and click “Send to the Digital and Population Data Services Agency”. The implementation of the Population Information System query interface requires the organisation to use the Suomi.fi Data Exchange Layer or have a customer certificate.

Conditions

Decisions on disclosing data that can be accessed using the VTJkysely interface and on the terms and conditions governing the use of the VTJkysely interface are made by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. To start using the interface, the organisation must receive a data permit from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency, and acknowledge its commitment to the permit conditions. The data permit specifies the products to which the permit holder may access, the purposes for which the data may be used, and any other necessary conditions. The application for the data permit must be submitted electronically, using the e-services of the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. Data from the Population Information System can only be disclosed if accessing the data is necessary and it is used for acceptable purposes. The type of data that can be disclosed is determined by the legislation and data protection regulations.

Fee details

Local and central government authorities as well as welfare authorities can use the interface free of charge. For other public sector customers and private sector customers performing statutory tasks, the use of the interface is invoiced on the basis of the number of surveys conducted on a monthly basis. Public sector customers are charged an establishment fee for the interface. Private organisations are charged a fee for the queries made. The cost of setting up the connection is also charged.

If a marriage or registered partnership ends either because of death or divorce, the property of the spouses is divided. Marital rights to property mean that both spouses have the right to obtain half of their combined property. A prenuptial agreement allows you and your spouse to agree that neither of you have marital rights to the other spouse’s property or part of it. We recommend preparing your prenuptial agreement with an advocate, the state legal aid office, or a competent lawyer. The prenuptial agreement does not enter into force until it has been registered at the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. The Agency will only register the prenuptial agreement, not prepare one for you or provide an opinion on the content thereof. You can submit the prenuptial agreement for registration before the wedding ceremony or during your marriage. It is not possible to register a prenuptial agreement if you have already filed for a divorce or the other spouse has passed away. A prenuptial agreement must be made in writing and must be dated and signed. Two impartial witnesses must also certify the authenticity of the signatures. A witness is disqualified if any person filing the prenuptial agreement is their: * current or former spouse or cohabiting partner * sibling * parent * child * family member of one of the above. The witness must be aged 15 or over and understand the significance of witnessing.

How to use it

* Submit the original prenuptial agreement, with physical signatures, and the registration application to the Digital and Population Data Services Agency for registering. Send the documents as paper mail or bring them to the Agency’s service location. * The original prenuptial agreement will be returned to you with the registration certificate.

About this service

Description

If you no longer have the need for a non-disclosure for personal safety reasons and you are an adult, you can remove your non-disclosure for personal safety reasons in the Suomi.fi Web Service. If you want to remove a non-disclosure for personal safety reasons from your minor dependant, you must request the removal from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. If there are more than one guardian, you will submit the request together. At the fastest, a non-disclosure for personal safety reasons is removed within a few days from when the details of the non-disclosure are removed from the system. However, this varies and sometimes the notification left from the non-disclosure may affect the use of services even years later.

How to use it

### Removing an adult person's non-disclosure for personal safety reasons You can immediately remove the non-disclosure for personal safety reasons on the Personal Data page of the Suomi.fi Web Service. If you cannot use the web service, you can visit our service location in person or request that the non-disclosure be removed by email or letter. Please note that in this case, it will take longer to remove the non-disclosure. ### Removing a non-disclosure for personal safety reasons for minor children Minors cannot remove a non-disclosure from themselves. Their guardians must ask for the non-disclosure to be removed on their behalf. Both guardians must request the removal of the non-disclosure, using the Digital and Population Data Services Agency's online form. If you cannot use the online form, you can visit our service location in person or request that the non-disclosure be removed by letter or by secure email to vaestotiedot@dvv.fi. Please note that in this case, it will take longer to remove the non-disclosure.

Published by: Digital and Population Data Services Agency · Government organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: All Finland

About this service

Description

A replacement card is intended to replace a lost, forgotten or broken certificate card. The replacement card is used when the certificate card is broken or the employee cannot use it for other reasons. For example, the certificate card may be lost or forgotten at home. The replacement card is only intended for temporary use. After use, the card is returned to the registration point where the blank replacement card can be reused. The period of validity for a replacement card is at most three months. ### What information does the replacement card contain? Replacement cards are delivered to registration points as blank cards. Data is only uploaded to the cards when they are handed over to a user. A temporary certificate containing the card holder's original certificate card data is assigned to the replacement card at the registration point. A replacement card can mainly be used to identify yourself in information systems in the same way as with a certificate card. On the other hand, a replacement card can not be used as a login tool in Suomi.fi e-Identification.

How to use it

Make sure that the registration point has blank replacement cards. 2. When the card applicant arrives at the registration point, identify the card applicant appropriately. 3. Assign the replacement card in the Vartti system for the card holder’s use. Specify the period of validity of the card when the card is delivered. The card holder selects and enters the PIN codes for the replacement card themselves. 4. Clear the replacement card when the replacement card is returned to the registration authority. ### Card user: how to start using the replacement card 1. Go to the registration authority where your organisation's replacement cards are ordered. Bring a valid identification document, such as a Finnish ID card or passport. 2. At the registration authority, the registrar will assign the replacement card for your use. 3. Select and enter PIN codes for the replacement card at the registration point. Memorise the PIN codes. 4. Return the replacement card to the registration authority when you no longer need it or it expires. After the return, the replacement card is cleared.

Service certificates

Service certificates are software certificates used to authenticate a service provider’s service or server.

Published by: Digital and Population Data Services Agency · Government organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: All Finland

About this service

Description

Service certificates are software certificates granted by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency used to authenticate a service provider’s service or server. Service certificates can be used to authenticate both public administration and private sector services. The Digital and Population Data Services Agency produces service certificates and system signature certificates needed for the use of Kanta Services for social welfare and healthcare organisations. There are also test certificates available that are intended for use in test environments. Service certificates are based on the X.509 standard and they can be used to enable SSL protected data transfers between a browser and server or between two servers.

How to use it

Service certificates are applied in DVV e-services. To apply, you must register as a user of the online services. When registering, the user establishes a customer account for the organisation they represent, to which they can invite other users of their organisation. Registration requires strong user identification. If the organisation already has an account in the e-services, the new user will need an invitation to this account from one of the current users of the account. A Service certificate subscription is always a new subscription, even if your organisation has a previous service certificate that is being renewed. 1. Click Fill in a new application. 2. Open the menu from “I would like to certify an electronic identity or service”. 3. Click Start from Service certificate applications. 4. Fill in the application and download a certificate request (CSR file) to the application or, alternatively, select that the technical contact person will download the certificate request to the application and fill in their information in the technical contact person's field. After submitting the application, the technical contact person will receive a link to the email address indicated in the application, where the certificate request can be downloaded. However, they will not be able to access the organisation's e-service account to view anything other than the information in the application in question. The data content of the service certificate is extracted from the certificate request to the application. The completed Service certificate is delivered by e-mail to the technical joint e-mail specified in the application and to the technical contact person in DER and PEM file formats. The target delivery time for a Service certificate is approximately one week after the application has been submitted and the certificate request has been downloaded. You can see the processing stages of the matter in e-services in the organisation's own account. Please note that the decision to issue a certificate will not appear on the application until a few days after the certificate has been produced and submitted. If the application cannot be accepted with the information provided, the application will be returned to the customer for corrections or additions in e-services. Requests for additional information include the reason for the return. The customer also has the opportunity to send additional information to the application themselves. The Service certificate order is binding. A rejected decision will be made on an incomplete application if it has been pending for more than six months.

Conditions

A service certificate is granted to a private actor or association that handles the administration of its own domain name.

Fee details

The price of a service certificate is 300,00 €/year (VAT 0%). The price is per year and it is charged at the time the certificate is created. A test server certificate is half the price of a normal certificate. A 15 € delivery fee will be added to prices.

Suomi.fi e-Authorizations' interface service for checking authorisations

The service will allow an organisation to verify a person's right to act on behalf of another person or company.

Published by: Digital and Population Data Services Agency · Government organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: All Finland

About this service

Description

With the Suomi.fi e-Authorizations interface services, you can reliably check that the user has the right to act on behalf of another person or organisation in your service. The right to act on behalf of another party is based on the information kept in basic registers or a specific mandate: * We recommend that you enable acting on behalf of another party on the basis of the role found in a basic register. In that case, such parties as guardians of a child, entrepreneurs and board chairpersons have direct and easy access to your service and do not need a specific mandate. * Register data is not always enough and in such cases, acting on behalf of another party is also enabled with a mandate. In that case, your customers first grant the mandate in Suomi.fi and after that, the assignee can use the service. The Suomi.fi e-Authorizations retrieve the information from basic registers and the authorisation register, and return a real-time response to the service on the right to act on behalf of another party. We always select the most suitable interface with the client organisation for checking the mandate according to the service use cases. Two technical connection methods are available: 1. Web API (for acting on behalf of a person and a company) 2. Security server interface or Suomi.fi Data Exchange Layer (only for acting on behalf of a company)

How to use it

Suomi.fi e-Authorizations, assisted authorisation for private customers

A mandate can be granted or invalidated upon application, if the person cannot authorise in Suomi.fi e-Authorizations independently.

Published by: Digital and Population Data Services Agency · Government organisation

About this service

Description

If you cannot independently authorise in the Suomi.fi Web Service, for example due to lack of competence or identification means, you can submit a mandate application yourself or with your assistant on the ‘Authorisation with an application’ page. Your assistant may be either the desired assignee or some other person. With a mandate application, you can grant a mandate for transactions that a person or organisation of your choice can use to act on your behalf in services that utilise Suomi.fi e-Authorizations. You can cancel a mandate you have granted with an invalidation application. One way to grant mandates is to approve a mandate request that the person you have selected as the assignee has made in Suomi.fi e-Authorizations. You can accept a mandate request at a service location of the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.

How to use it

First, decide who you want to act on your behalf, in which matters and for how long. Then, agree with this desired assignee on how you want to make the authorisation. You can submit an electronic mandate application yourself, together with the person you have selected as the assignee or with another assistant on the ‘Authorisation with an application’ page. To submit an application, you need a computer, tablet or smartphone and a network connection. The person you have selected as the assignee or an assistant can help you submit the application as an identified customer of the Suomi.fi Web Service. Then, they can follow the progress of your application in the service. If the assistant cannot or does not wish to log in to the Suomi.fi Web Service, you can send the application by post. If you cannot submit the application yourself and with an assistant, you can book an appointment at your choice of a service location of the Digital and Population Data Services Agency where an official will assist you with the application. Check that you have all the necessary information for the mandate application. ### Accepting a mandate request One way to grant mandates is to approve a mandate request. The person you want to act on your behalf identifies themselves in the Suomi.fi Web Service and sends you a mandate request. For this purpose, they need your name, personal identity code and a list of the mandate themes that you want to give them. After this, you must accept the mandate request at one of the Digital and Population Data Services Agency’s service locations. If you make an appointment in the ‘Suomi.fi e-Authorizations for organisations and citizens’ service, you can avoid queuing and can ensure that you are served. ### Do you need help? The advisory service on Suomi.fi services provides guidance on the use of e-Authorizations by phone. You can also find instructions in the ‘Instructions and support’ section of the Suomi.fi Web Service.

Conditions

Assisted authorisation can be used by * an adult and legally competent Finnish citizen who has a Finnish personal identity code but has no possibility to use or identify themselves in electronic services * a foreigner who has a valid foreigner’s identity card issued by the Finnish police but is not able to use or identify themselves in electronic services * a guardian of an underaged assignor who cannot use or identify themselves in electronic services.
