As a donee of a continuing power of attorney, you can use the e-service without separate Suomi.fi authorisation

As a donee of a continuing power of attorney, you can now use the Positive Credit Register’s e-service on your assignor’s behalf without any separate Suomi.fi authorisation. In the future, your right to use the e-service will be verified automatically.

You can use our e-service on behalf of your assignor when

• you have been given the right to manage your assignor’s financial affairs in a continuing power of attorney;
• your rights to use services have not been limited to a specific asset item such as a real estate unit or business activities, for example;
• the continuing power of attorney does not separately require that several donees of a continuing power of attorney must jointly use services on the assignor’s behalf; and
• you have the strong identification means required for digital services such as online banking codes or a mobile certificate.

The rights of donees of a continuing power of attorney to use services are verified in our e-service using Suomi.fi e-Authorizations. Suomi.fi e-Authorizations is the government’s shared digital solution for using services on someone else’s behalf. It is provided by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.

The Digital and Population Data Services Agency will continue to develop digital services for donees of a continuing power of attorney and private trustees in 2024–2025.
