These instructions are for organisations in which no one can yet grant Suomi.fi mandates.
If an organisation cannot authorise persons in Suomi.fi e-Authorizations itself, the Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV) can register mandates on the basis of an application. Authorisation by application is needed, for example, by central, regional and local government organisations, public educational institutions and foundations without representatives entered in the Finnish Trade Register.
It is advisable to apply for the right to grant a mandate for at least one person. After that, this person can grant the organisation’s mandates for transactions in Suomi.fi e-Authorizations without new applications.
For transactions with Findata
In the application, specify the Findata mandate themes for which the right to grant a mandate is given:
- Management of permit and service matters related to the secondary use of data
- Viewing permit and service matters related to the secondary use of data
Submitting the application
The application is submitted in the Suomi.fi service. Suomi.fi provides instructions for submitting the application, information on the required attachments and the processing time:
- Authorisation with an application (suomi.fi)
- How other organisations and foreign companies grant mandates (suomi.fi)
Foreign organisations
Foreign organisations usually need to submit an application. Foreign organisations must provide certified and legalised documents, so allow time to obtain them. If the person for whom the right to grant a mandate is applied for does not have a Finnish personal identity code, their foreign user identifier (UID) is needed.
