Suomi.fi identification

Suomi.fi identification is used every time you log in to a service. Suomi.fi identification and authorisation is a service maintained by the Finnish Digital Agency, and support for users of the service is provided by Public Service Info.

If you have a Finnish personal identity code, you can identify yourself with 

• online banking codes
• a mobile certificate (a mobile phone with a SIM card that has a mobile certificate) or
• a certificate card (an identity card granted by the Police, an organisation card granted by Finnish Digital Agency, i.e. a civil service card, or the card for professionals in social services or medical professionals, i.e. a Sote ID card).

If you cannot identify yourself electronically, you can do business with us in alternative ways or use a representative, for instance a forwarding company or Posti. Customs clearance cannot be done over the phone or by email.

When is Suomi.fi identification alone sufficient?

 If the CEO of a company, or another person with signatory rights, browses, prepares or applies for authorisations in person, they do not need a Suomi.fi authorisation, since the Suomi.fi identification is sufficient due to them already having the right to handle authorisation matters by virtue of their status.
