Changes to walk-in service hours from 1 June 2023

Summer brings changes to walk-in service hours as well. Most matters do not require a visit to a Digital and Population Data Services Agency service location and can be handled electronically or by telephone instead. 

Only marriage ceremonies, the registration of foreigners’ personal data, certain notary public services and official-assisted registration of the right to create a mandate in Suomi.fi e-Authorizations require visiting our customer service in person.
