yhdistysrekisteri

Yhdistysrekisteri, or the Association Register, is a public register maintained by the Finnish Ministry of Justice. It serves as a central repository for information about associations and foundations in Finland. The register is part of the Finnish Association Act, which regulates the establishment, operation, and dissolution of associations and foundations.

The register contains detailed information about each association and foundation, including their name, address, purpose, and the names and addresses of their board members. This information is publicly accessible, allowing anyone to verify the existence and details of an association or foundation.

The Association Register is updated regularly to ensure that the information it contains is accurate and up-to-date. Associations and foundations are required to notify the Ministry of any changes to their details, such as a change of address or board members.

The Association Register is an important tool for promoting transparency and accountability in the Finnish association and foundation sector. It allows the public to easily access information about these organizations, and helps to ensure that they are operating in accordance with the law.
