Elinkuvat

elinkuvat refers to a Finnish online service that allows users to digitally sign documents. It is a part of the Finnish National Archive's digital services and aims to provide a secure and convenient way to handle electronic signatures. The service is often used for official documents, contracts, and other legal purposes where a verifiable signature is required.

To use elinkuvat, individuals typically need to authenticate themselves using strong electronic identification methods, such as a Finnish personal identity code and a mobile certificate or online bank credentials. Once authenticated, users can upload their documents, add their digital signature, and send it to others for their signatures. The platform ensures the integrity and authenticity of the signature, making the document legally binding in Finland.

The development of elinkuvat is driven by the need for digitalization of public and private services. It simplifies processes that traditionally required physical presence and paper-based signatures. The service adheres to relevant EU regulations regarding electronic identification and trust services, ensuring its compliance and security. Elinkuvat is a key component in advancing digital trust and streamlining administrative procedures within Finland.
