Registering a prenuptial agreement 

The prenuptial agreement must be sent for registration to us or the State Department of Åland. Without registration, the prenuptial agreement is not valid. 

Do the following

  1. Draw up the prenuptial agreement in writing.

    You can use the services of a lawyer or a public legal aid office in the preparation of the agreement. Unfortunately, the Digital and Population Data Services agency cannot help in the preparation of a prenuptial agreement.

    Make sure that your personal identity codes are entered correctly in the agreement, the document is dated and that both spouses have signed it. Ask two impartial persons to certify the authenticity of your signatures. 

  2. Print out and complete the form below to register the prenuptial agreement

  3. Send the pen-signed original prenuptial agreement and the completed registration form to the address below or bring them to the mailbox of any of our service locations (except to Espoo or Iisalmi).

  4. We will return the original prenuptial agreement to you by mail

    Due to a high volume of applications received, we will return the documents within approximately 4 months.

    The registration certificate and the invoice for the registration will be sent separately.
