Request a Finnish identity code and registration of personal data

You can use this form to request the registration of your personal data in the Finnish population information system. You will receive a Finnish personal identity code when you register. The code is 11 characters long and its first six digits consist of your date of birth (DDMMYY). If you have a residence permit, it is likely that you already have received a personal identity code from the Finnish Immigration Service. Use the form only if you are a foreign citizen and do not yet have a Finnish personal identity code.

 

Do as follows:

  1. First, read the conditions under which you can get an identity code.
  2. Fill in this form and send it.
    • You can also request an identity code for your children moving to the same address in Finland at the same time. Persons over 18 years of age fill in and send their own form.
    • If the other parent of the child also requests an identity code at the same time, ask for an identity code for the child only on the form of one parent.
  3. You will get detailed instructions from the confirmation email that you will receive after submitting the form.
  4. You must also personally visit us after submitting the form.
    • Book an appointment and visit our service location with documents. You will see the detailed list from the booking confirmation.
    • If you requested a personal identity code for your children, they should also visit.

 

Attach the following documents:

  • a picture of your valid travel document
  • a picture of your residence permit if you have one
  • a picture of your employment contract or study certificate if you work or study in Finland

Add documents. NOTE: the allowed file formats are JPEG, JPG, PNG, PDF, Excel (. xlsx), Word (. docx), and Powerpoint (. pptx). The maximum size of an individual attachment is 20 MT.
