MXmerkintä

MXmerkintä is a Finnish term used to describe the certificate or confirmation issued to an asylum seeker who has lodged their application in Finland. The certificate is a proof of the applicant's submission of their request for international protection and is usually a necessary condition for accessing various social services and benefits.

The MX-merkintä has been a key aspect of Sweden's asylum policy, but in recent years, Finland has also introduced a similar system for asylum seekers. The certificate serves as a document for asylum-seekers, which proves that they have lodged their application in the country. This allows asylum seekers to access various public services, including social benefits, medical care, and education.

To obtain an MX-merkintä, asylum seekers need to submit their application for international protection to the Finnish Migration Agency. Once their application is registered, they will receive an MX-merkintä, which includes their personal information, application number, and relevant details about their status.

The MX-merkintä is usually issued electronically through the Finnish Immigration Service's online system, or in some cases, directly to the asylum seekers by the authorities. The certificate can be provided in Finnish, Swedish, English or in the applicant's native language.

It is worth noting that the MX-merkintä is an official document recognized by the Finnish authorities, and it is essential for asylum seekers to have this document in order to access various public services and benefits while their application is being processed.
