rekisterimääräys

Rekisterimääräys is a term used in Finnish administrative law that translates to "registration order" or "entry order". It refers to a decision made by an authority that requires a particular matter to be entered into a public register. This entry can be a notification of a change, a new establishment, or any other event that is legally mandated to be recorded.

The purpose of a rekisterimääräys is to ensure transparency and legal certainty. By formally registering information, it becomes publicly accessible and legally binding. This is crucial for various areas, such as company law, where changes in ownership or articles of association must be registered. Similarly, in real estate law, property ownership and encumbrances are recorded in land registers, often initiated by registration orders.

The authority issuing a rekisterimääräys typically has the power to verify the accuracy of the information before making the entry. This may involve examining submitted documents and ensuring compliance with relevant legislation. Failure to comply with a rekisterimääräys can result in penalties or the administrative entry being made by the authority itself, potentially with an associated fee. The concept is fundamental to the functioning of many Finnish public registers and the legal framework they support.
