Valtioviranomaisilta

Valtioviranomaisilta is a Finnish term that literally means “from government authorities.” It is often used in official documents, agencies’ notices, and public communications to designate that the information or directive originates from a national or local governmental body. The construction is a compound of the noun valtioviranomainen, meaning a state or governmental authority, and the infinitive suffix -ilta, which indicates source or provenance.

In practice, valtioviranomaisilta appears in contexts such as directives, regulations, public service announcements, and the distribution of supplementary data to institutions that must incorporate government policy into their operations. The phrase may be paired with specific agencies—for example, valtioviranomaisilta suositukset (guidelines from government authorities) or valtioviranomaisilta ilmoitus (an announcement from a government authority).

The usage is common in Finland where transparency and traceability of official communications are enforced by law. Records bearing the indicator valtioviranomaisilta often carry the seal of the issuing body and are bound by legal obligations for archival and, where appropriate, public access. Because the term signals authenticity, it is critical in legal contexts, such as court proceedings, where documents must be verifiably issued by state bodies.

Thus, valtioviranomaisilta functions as a standard phrase in Finnish public administration, ensuring clarity about the origin of directives and information that impacts citizens, businesses, and other stakeholders.
