henkilöllisyystodistuksella

Henkilöllisyystodistus is a Finnish term that translates to "identity document" in English. It refers to any official document that serves to verify a person's identity. The most common and widely accepted forms of henkilöllisyystodistus in Finland are the identity card (henkilökortti) and the passport (passi). These documents are issued by the Finnish police and contain crucial personal information such as name, date of birth, personal identification number, and a photograph.

In Finland, having a valid henkilöllisyystodistus is often a legal requirement for various activities. It is necessary for many official transactions, including opening bank accounts, signing contracts, applying for certain services, and proving one's age. Law enforcement officers may also request to see a henkilöllisyystodistus during checks. For international travel, a passport is generally required, though some Nordic countries may allow entry with a valid Finnish identity card.

Other documents can sometimes serve as a form of identification in specific contexts, though they are not typically considered a primary henkilöllisyystodistus. Examples might include a driving license (ajokortti) or a residence permit card for non-Finnish citizens. However, for formal identification purposes, the official identity card or passport are the standard and most reliable forms of henkilöllisyystodistus. The validity period for these documents varies, and it is important to ensure that one's henkilöllisyystodistus is up to date to avoid any legal or practical inconveniences.
