The Finnish identity card�(Finnish:�henkil�kortti;�Swedish:�identitetskort) is one of two official identity documents in�Finland, the other being the�Finnish passport. Any citizen or resident can get an identification card.^[2]�Finnish citizens will get indication of citizenship on the card. It is available as an electronic ID card (Finnish:�s�hk�inen henkil�kortti;�Swedish:�elektroniskt identitetskort), which enables logging into certain services on the Internet, local computers or adding digital signatures into�LibreOffice�ODF�documents or creating�DigiDoc�formatted containers that also allows encryption during content transfer. ID card is applied at a police station and it is issued by the police.

Possession of an ID card or any ID document is non-compulsory in Finland, though interactions with officials and companies, like voting, picking up a parcel from�Posti�offices or buying alcohol when a salesperson suspects buyer to be under 18 or 30 years old, can be difficult or impossible without an ID card, a passport or a driving licence.

Driving licences are also widely used for general identification purposes even though they are not officially recognised as such. Some places, such as the postal service,^[3]�accept social security cards with the photograph of the bearer but they are not widely used and have not been issued in a long time.

In domestic non-electronic identification the driving licence has remained in a leading position, since most of the population have to have a licence anyway, and a driving licence is valid for almost every situation where non-electronic personal identification is needed.

In some cases, an emergency ID card, valid between 15 days to 3 months, is issued.

The Finnish identity card for citizens may be used as a travel document all over Europe (except�Belarus,�Russia,�Ukraine�and�United Kingdom) as well as French overseas territories, Georgia, Greenland, Tunisia (on organized tours)^[4][5]�and Montserrat (for max. 14 days). However, due to Finnish regulations, direct outbound travel from Finland to non-EU/EFTA countries requires a passport. From 2 August 2021, the�European identity card�is intended to replace and standardize the various identity card styles currently in use in the EU/EEA.

For travel within the�Nordic countries�no travel documents are legally required for Nordic citizens due to the�Nordic Passport Union, however one must be able to prove their identity, for example with a passport, identity card or a Nordic driving license.
