ID cards for non-regulated social and healthcare workers and non-clinical healthcare sector staff

Authorising a registration point of another organisation

Private social welfare and healthcare organisations usually authorise an existing registration point to order the ID cards for their non-regulated workers and non-clinical social welfare and healthcare personnel. In this case, the organisation must first contact the registration point that is to be authorised and agree on the authorisation.

Verifying the identity of an applicant

The identity of the card applicant must be verified at a registration when the card is ordered.

The card applicant must have a valid identity document such as a national ID card or a passport with them in order to prove their identity. Other acceptable forms of identification include the following: a passport or identity card issued by an official government agency of an EEA member state, Switzerland or San Marino, or a passport issued by an official government agency of another state. If the applicant does not possess any of the aforementioned documents, the police may, at the organisation’s request, verify the applicant’s identity by other means.

ID cards for non-regulated workers and ID cards for non-clinical social welfare and healthcare personnel are tied to the organisation and the employee’s employment contract. If your employment comes to an end, the certificate must be revoked. After this, the card can no longer be used. The status of the card must also be entered as cancelled into the Vartti system.
