Rekisteriselvitykset

Rekisteriselvitykset are official searches or checks conducted in various public registers in Finland. The term translates directly to "register investigations" or "register clarifications." These services are typically provided by authorities or authorized entities to verify information held in official databases. The purpose of a rekisteriselvitys is to confirm the accuracy of data, trace ownership, or establish legal status of individuals, properties, or companies.

Common types of rekisteriselvitykset include those pertaining to the population register (henkilörekisteri), land register (kiinteistörekisteri), company register (kaupparekisteri), and vehicle register (ajoneuvorekisteri). For example, a rekisteriselvitys from the population register might confirm a person's domicile or marital status. A property rekisteriselvitys could reveal details about land ownership, boundaries, or encumbrances.

These services are often requested for legal proceedings, real estate transactions, or due diligence processes. The information obtained is considered official and can be used as evidence. The process of obtaining a rekisteriselvitys usually involves submitting a formal request and paying a fee. The specific authorities responsible for different registers, as well as the procedures and costs, vary depending on the type of register being investigated.
