Suomi.fi identification and authorization for foreign citizens when submitting Intrastat declarations

Foreign citizens authorised to sign for Finnish companies and do not have a Finnish identity code must introduce the Finnish Authenticator Identification Service for foreign citizens.

You can submit an application for the registration of a mandate in the Digital and Population Data Services Agency’s Mandate service provided by officials. In order to grant mandates in Suomi.fi e-Authorizations, a foreign company must be registered in Finland. It is advisable for companies to choose right to grant a mandate as the mandate type, so that independent authorisation on behalf of the company or organisation will be possible in the Suomi.fi service. With the right to grant a mandate, companies can grant mandates to agents electronically in Suomi.fi e-Authorizations.

Foreigner’s user identifiers (UID) should be applied for before applying for mandates. The person to be authorized must also have a foreigner’s user identifier (UID), if he/she does not have a Finnish personal identity code.
