About this service
Description
If you are buying, selling, giving as a gift or exchanging immovable property, such as a plot, you will need the services of a public purchase witness, an attesting notary. The attesting notary will certify the transfer of the property.
Digital and Population Data Services Agency always ensures certification of purchase at their service location. When the property is transferred, both parties and the attesting notary must be present at the same time. The attesting notary will verify the identity of the parties and confirm that the deed of transfer is formally correct. The parties will then sign the deed of transfer in at least three copies.
Please note that in some situations you can sign a deed of sale in the electronic service of the National Land Survey of Finland instead of using an attesting notary.
How to use it
Make an appointment with the attesting notary in advance.
Send a secure email to julkinen.notaari@dvv.fi or call the Digital and Population Data Services Agency's switchboard and ask for a purchase witness.
Conditions
Both parties have to be present when the certification of the purchase takes place. Both parties must be legally competent. The transferor must be the owner of the property being transferred.
