Change of address notification
When placing a change of address notification, you can give the information to Posti and/or the magistrate. When placing a change of address notification online, by phone, or using the form, you can also give the statutory change of address notification to the magistrate, based on which your taxation municipality, voting place, and access to some social security services will be defined. You must file a change of address notification to the magistrate whenever you move permanently from one home to a new one or when you will stay at another address for more than three months.
By placing the change of address notification in time, you will ensure that your mail will be delivered to you on time.
