Digi ensin -hanke -etusivun osa 5 - hankkeen perustiedot | Digital and population data services agency

The Digital and Population Data Services Agency is responsible for the technical solution to digitalise official communications (Suomi.fi Messages) and for support and communications about this change to citizens and public organisations.
Digital First is part of the Ministry of Finance’s programme to promote digital official communications. The project period runs from 27 March 2024 to 31 December 2027.
The project is part of the central government's productivity programme and aims for annual savings of tens of millions of euros from 2026 onwards.
The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Justice are preparing legislative amendments that should enter into force in 2026.
In the second phase of the project, during 2026-2027, it will also be possible to read official mail via private digital mail services in addition to Suomi.fi messages. The preparation of the legislation required for this change will start in autumn 2025. The Digital and Population Data Services Agency is responsible for the technical implementation (including technical connections to private digital mail services).
