rekisterinimi

Rekisterinimi is a Finnish term that translates to "registration name" or "registered name." It refers to the official name that an individual or an entity has legally registered. This can encompass a variety of contexts, including personal names, business names, and domain names.

In personal identification, a rekisterinimi is the name recorded in official documents such as birth certificates, identity cards, and passports. It is the legally recognized name by which an individual is known and identified in Finland. Changes to a rekisterinimi typically require a formal process through the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.

For businesses, a rekisterinimi refers to the officially registered company name. This name must be unique and is registered with the Finnish Patent and Registration Office. The rekisterinimi is crucial for legal and commercial purposes, distinguishing one business from another and providing a basis for contracts and other official transactions.

The term can also extend to domain names. When a domain name is registered for a website, for instance, it becomes the rekisterinimi for that online presence, signifying its official identification on the internet. In essence, rekisterinimi emphasizes the official, legally recognized status of a name within its specific context.
