For Employers
Start an identity-code application for an employee who is moving to Finland to work.
Towards a smoothly functioning Finland
Register your identity details with the Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV).
If you are moving to Finland, you may need a Finnish personal identity code to access services. In this example, the application is connected to employment in Finland.
