Findata will launch its new e-service on 11 January 2027. Applications, data requests and orders submitted before then will be processed to completion in the current e-service. If you act on behalf of an organisation, make sure you have the necessary Suomi.fi mandate.
From 11 January 2027, applications for data permits and amendment permits, data requests and Kapseli orders are submitted in the new e-service.
The new e-service makes it easier in particular to describe data extractions and to apply for amendments. The Data Resources Catalogue is integrated into the service, so applicants can select the extractions they need directly from the catalogue while filling in the application. Applications and permits relating to the same project are brought together in the service. When you apply for an amendment to a permit granted in the new service, you do not need to re-enter information you have already provided.
Applicant organisations will be able to see in the service all applications made on their behalf and the permits granted to them. You log in to the service with Suomi.fi e-Identification, and you act on behalf of an organisation with a Suomi.fi mandate.
Applications can be submitted in the current e-service until 10 January 2027
Applications, data requests and orders can be submitted in the current e-service until 10 January 2027. Applications and orders submitted before the new service is launched will be processed in the current service. If, for example, Findata returns your application to you for additional information, you can edit it and resubmit it for processing in the current service after 11 January 2027 as well.
If you are planning to submit an application around the turn of the year, we recommend waiting until the new service is launched and submitting it there. This allows you to use the new features, and Findata can process your application more smoothly.
Save your information from the current e-service
Earlier drafts, applications and decisions will not be transferred from the current e-service to the new one. You can download them from the current service until 31 January 2027.
We recommend that you save the applications, attachments and decisions relating to your valid permits. They will be useful, for example, when you apply for an amendment to a permit in the new e-service. You can also download unfinished drafts and their attachments and use them when filling in your application in the new service.
How do I save my application or draft from the current e-service?
You can download the drafts, applications, attachments and decisions you have created in the current e-service until 31 January 2027.
- Log in to Findata’s e-service (asiointi.findata.fi) with the same credentials you used when filling in the application or draft.
- Select “My applications” from the top bar. The page shows the drafts you have created and the applications you have submitted.
- Select the draft or application you want to save by clicking “View” at the right-hand end of the row.
- In the box on the right-hand side of the application form, select “Download PDF”. You will receive the draft or application as a PDF file.
- If you also want to download the attachments you added to the draft or application, select “Attachments (zip)” in the same box.
- If a decision has been made on your application, you can download the decision and any attachments from the Events list above the application form. If the decision is not shown in the list, select “Show more”.
You need a Suomi.fi mandate to act on behalf of an organisation
In the new e-service, you can act either as a private individual or on behalf of an organisation, such as a university, wellbeing services county or company.
If you submit applications or orders on behalf of an organisation, you need a Suomi.fi mandate granted by your organisation. If no one in your organisation can grant Suomi.fi mandates, the organisation must first apply to the Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV) for the right to grant mandates. This may apply, for example, to Finnish public organisations and foreign organisations.
