Suomi.fi e-Authorizations make it possible to act on behalf of other person or other organisation in the services that use Suomi.fi e-Authorizations to verify the person’s right to act.
In Suomi.fi e-Authorizations, private persons, companies, associations and other organisations can also authorise a person, company, association or other organisation to act on their behalf. A mandate is an electronic power of attorney, the details of which are entered in the authorisation register.
You can act on behalf of another person whenever and wherever, as the information on the right to act is always up to date. Suomi.fi e-Authorizations check your right in the basic registers (for example, the Population Information System and the registers of the Finnish Patent and Registration Office) and the authorisation register.
Suomi.fi contains general instructions on the granting of and request for mandates and information on the use of e-services with Suomi.fi e-Authorizations.

The Suomi.fi e-Authorizations works best with the most commonly used browsers and the latest versions of browsers. The service should not be used with the Internet Explorer browser because it is no longer recommended.
The Suomi.fi activity history lists who has used your mandate to act on your behalf and in which service they have used it. The page does not show information about transactions made on behalf of another person before November 2022.
If the mandate has been granted to an organisation, the activity history will list the name of the organisation that acted on your behalf. If you would like more detailed information on the use of a service, please contact the service that was used.
Unfortunately, organisations such as companies, associations and societies cannot yet see in the Suomi.fi activity history if a service has been used their behalf.
