Finnish ID Card

FINNISH ID CARD APPLICATION

Applications for a Finnish id card can be submitted via the Police’s eServices or in person at a police licence services point of your choice. It is easiest to do this online:

1. Have your photograph taken at a photography studio that can send your passport photograph to the Police electronically. Find your nearest photographer here: www.lupakuvienvastaanotto.fi/kuvaamoluettelo

2. Fill in the application online: www.poliisi.fi/e-services. Attach the photograph retrieval code you received from the photographer to your application. Pay the application fee online.

3. In certain cases, only the electronic application is required. In other cases, in addition to the application, the applicant must visit a police licence services point in order to be identified prior to processing the application. When you fill in your application, the system will tell you whether you need to visit the police licence services point. If a visit is required, your application will only be processed after the visit. Avoid queueing by booking an appointment in advance: https://asiointi.poliisi.fi/ajanvaraus-fe.
