Guardianship of a minor child   

Guardian or attorney, are you about to make an annual statement? 

Please fill in the annual statement online at the Guardianship e-service.  It will be easier next time, as the information from the previous statement will be available as a template in the service.

• guardian of a minor's property
• an attorney

Unable to prepare the annual statement in the Guardianship e-service?

You can also prepare the annual statement on paper. Send the statement and its attachments (as copies) to this address: Digital and Population Data Services Agency, P.O. Box 1004, FI-00531 Helsinki. Please note, that the annual statement is no longer returned to the nearest service location.

Because we scan the documents, they must not include staples, paper clips, plastic sleeves, or folders. After scanning, the annual statements are securely destroyed. Therefore, you must keep the original receipts and documents yourself. Attach only copies of the original receipts and documents to the account form.

At the Guardianship e-service you can make a property invertory, an annual statement, a final statement and apply for permits online. The e-service is available in Finnish and Swedish language.
