How to speed up the processing of your data request

The processing time for your application depends on several factors: the content of the application (especially the clarity of the data request description), our current processing load, and the response times from data controllers. If there’s something unclear with your application, contact the controller directly and use Findata’s advisory service to speed up the process.

Here are ways to expedite the processing of your application:

  1. Complete the application carefully.
  2. Clearly define the information you need and specify the register-specific data extractions before submitting the request. Provide an empty sample table for each requested statistic, clearly marking the row and column variables.
  3. Contact controllers directly if you need more information about the data or variables. According to the Act on Secondary Use of Data, data controllers offer advisory services concerning their own data and are the best source for this information.
