BUY FINNISH ID CARD

BUY FINNISH ID CARD. The Finnish identity card (Finnish: henkilökortti; 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: sähköinen henkilökortti; 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.
