The Legal Register Centre now offers a wider range of e-services

The updated e-services can now handle requests for criminal record extracts for persons working with children, students working with children, volunteers working with children, and audiovisual programme classifiers, as well as those required as part of procurement procedures or for foreign authorities. A fee is applied to all criminal record extract requests other than those for students working with children.

In addition to handling requests for criminal records extracts, our updated e-services can also provide extracts and certificates from the registers of bankruptcies and restructurings, prohibition to pursue a business, debt adjustments, and bans on animal keeping. Balance certificates from the debt recovery system of the Legal Register Centre can also be provided through the updated e-services. A fee is applied to requests for extracts from the prohibition to pursue a business and ban on animal keeping registers.

You can view your own fines and other sanctions ordered to be paid to the State in the updated e-services. You can also apply for a payment period for penalties or use the barcode provided by the e-services to pay the penalty via your online banking.

You can view the full range of e-services without signing in to the system. If you wish to view any of the information stored in the registers, however, you will be required to sign in using your Suomi.fi user credentials. Register extracts and certificates can either be requested for yourself, for a dependent or, in some cases, on behalf of someone else for whom you are acting as a proxy. Authorisations are carried out using your Suomi.fi user credentials.

Extracts and certificates can be provided either electronically via the Suomi.fi Messages service or by post, depending on the customer’s preference. Any requested documents will be viewable via the e-services within a few weeks.

As before, the insolvency and public notice registers will continue to be freely accessible via ORK’s e-services. The insolvency register contains information on corporate and personal bankruptcies, corporate restructurings, and debt adjustments. Individual customers can this information if they have incurred a business debt.
