Registröissä

Registröissä is a Finnish term that refers to the official records or registers maintained by public authorities in Finland. These records are crucial for various administrative and legal purposes, ensuring transparency and accountability in government operations. The most well-known registries include the Population Information System (Väestötietojärjestelmä), which contains information about Finnish residents, and the Business Register (Y-tunnus), which lists all active businesses in Finland.

The maintenance of registröissä is governed by the Finnish Act on the Opening of Government Information (523/1999), which mandates the publication of certain government records to promote openness and accessibility. This act also outlines the procedures for accessing and requesting information from these registers. The data in registröissä is typically updated regularly to reflect current information, although some records may have delays due to administrative processes.

Access to registröissä is generally open to the public, subject to certain restrictions outlined in the act. Individuals and organizations can request information from these registers for personal, research, or business purposes. However, sensitive or personal data may require specific permissions or be subject to data protection regulations.

Registröissä plays a vital role in Finnish society by providing a centralized source of information for both citizens and authorities. It supports various services, such as tax administration, social welfare, and legal proceedings, by ensuring that relevant data is readily available and accurate. The use of registröissä has also facilitated the development of digital services, enabling citizens to access and manage their information online.
