Authorisation in the Trade Register, BIS or the Finnish Register of Associations 

When a user chooses to act on behalf of a company, the system will check the Trade Register, BIS and the Finnish Register of Associations for whether the person has a right of representation and to sign that entitles them to act on behalf of the company/organisation. If the person has been granted this right, they will not have to do anything and can use the My e-Services service without having to be granted any separate Suomi.fi e-Authorizations. Our service features the following representation rights:

• Trader
• Managing Director
• Substitute Managing Director

Roles entered into the Finnish Register of Associations that can entitle someone to act on behalf of the association can be:

The members of the board in a limited liability company or a housing company have the right to grant a mandate together, if 

• There is an entry in the Trade Register on all the board members
• All the board members have a Finnish personal identity code

Granted mandates in the authorisation register

If a representative of a company does not have the right to act on behalf of an organisation on the basis of their position, the authority that is granted to them must be registered in the authorisation register. The mandate may be granted by a person who is authorised to do so on the basis of their position or by a person who has been granted this right by the aforementioned authorised person.
