Marriage and partnerships
We offer services in matters related to marriage and partnerships, and help with the registration of legal documents concerning partnerships and keeping personal data up to date.
Are you getting married?
Before the marriage ceremony, you need to request an investigation of impediments to your marriage from us. You can make an appointment for a civil marriage ceremony.

Do you live abroad?
Report any changes to your personal data to the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. This way your data will be up to date and using the services of the Finnish authorities will be easier. Finnish citizens have a legal obligation to make sure that their personal data is up to date in the population data system.
