Juurikansiossa

Juurikansiossa, also known as *Juurikansio* or *Root Folder* in Finnish, refers to a concept primarily used in the context of Finnish digital services and the Finnish government’s e-services platform, *Oma asiointi* (My Affairs). It is a secure digital storage space where individuals can organize and manage their personal documents and certificates related to official matters.

The juurikansiossa is integrated into the Finnish e-government infrastructure, allowing users to securely store and access documents such as identification cards, passports, tax certificates, and other official records. This system is designed to streamline administrative processes by providing a centralized location for digital identification and verification. Users can upload documents directly to their juurikansiossa, which are then linked to their digital identity for authentication purposes.

Access to the juurikansiossa is controlled through the Finnish digital identity system, which relies on the *Suomi.fi* platform. Users must authenticate themselves using methods such as a mobile ID (*Matkapuhelin-ID*), bank ID (*Pankkitunnukset*), or an electronic ID card (*Sähköinen asiakirja*). The system ensures that only authorized individuals can view or modify the stored documents, enhancing security and privacy.

The juurikansiossa is particularly useful for tasks such as applying for permits, submitting tax declarations, or accessing healthcare services online. By consolidating essential documents in one secure location, it reduces the need for physical paperwork and simplifies interactions with Finnish public institutions. The system continues to evolve, incorporating new features to improve usability and integration with other digital services.
