Follow these instructions

If the organisation has previously been a user of the modified data update service, the format and relay method of the data will change when switching to the PIS modified data interface. It also requires changes to the technical implementation by which the customer's register is updated. 

A sequential file similar to the current modified data update service will be delivered until the end of 2024. Until then, the current modified data update service will operate alongside the new service. No changes other than those brought about by legislative changes will be made to the old modified data update service, and it is not offered to new users.

Commissioning the PIS modified data interface

The PIS modified data interface's data is relayed through the Digital and Population Data Services Agency's Suomi.fi Data Exchange Layer. Read more about the Data Exchange Layer.

The commissioning of the PIS modified data interface is done by applying for a data access authorisation in the Digital and Population Data Services Agency's e-services.

• PIS modified data interface order instructions for municipalities (link)

When placing an order for the service, a report on data protection arrangements and the purpose for the use of the data must be provided.

Municipalities, hospital districts and joint municipal authorities have been granted a general data access authorisation for the organisation's official duties. These organisations do not need to apply for an authorisation separately, as the service can be ordered through the e-service.

When making the order, a report on data protection arrangements and the use of the data must be filled out.
