Digital and Population Data Services Agency is testing extended service hours in Lahti and Lappeenranta

In response to our customers’ wishes, we are testing extended service hours in Lahti and Lappeenranta.

From 5 September to 12 December 2023, our walk-in services in these cities will also be available on Tuesdays in even-numbered weeks between 4 pm and 6 pm.

During the extended service hours, staff is on hand to provide advice as well as assistance for completing forms and booking appointments. You can also initiate matters and submit documents.
The extended service hours are introduced at the joint service points on a test basis and the experiment will continue until the end of 2023.

We recommend that you book an appointment in advance

Only a small number of matters require a visit to any of our service locations as you can also manage matters electronically or by phone. If the matter requires a meeting with an official at any of our service locations, you should always book an appointment through our appointment system. This way, you are able to manage your matters more easily without having to wait unnecessarily.

In Lahti and Lappeenranta, services are available by appointment on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 9 am and 4 pm. You can book an appointment to manage matters that require a visit to any of our service locations.
