How to log in e-service

You can only manage your Incomes Register affairs or those of your company after you have identified yourself.

Identifying yourself in e-service with your personal credentials

Identify yourself in the Incomes Register’s e-service using your online banking codes, a mobile certificate, a certificate card or an organisation certificate card.

  • You can act on behalf of a company or organisation if you have an official role in the organisation that has been registered in the Trade Register, the Business Information System (BIS) or the Register of Associations.
  • If you act in any other role, you will need a Suomi.fi authorisation. Authorisations can be granted for individuals or companies.
  • You can also view your own income data in the e-service.

Representatives of a data user must also identify themselves in the Incomes Register’s e-service with their personal credentials.

You can only use the service on behalf of a data user if you have been authorised by your organisation’s master user to act as a data user.

Data users do not use the Suomi.fi authorisation. Instead, the main user of each organisation grants the authorisations in the Incomes Register’s e-service. The main user is also responsible for the maintenance of the granted authorisations.

The majority of data users retrieve data from the Incomes Register to their software via an API. In this case, the organisation will be identified by a technical certificate installed in the software.
