Finnish Passport Online

Applying for a Finnish Passport online

Standard passport applications can be submitted via the Police’s eServices or in person at a police license services point of your choice. It is easiest to do this online:

1. Have your photograph taken at a photography studio that can send your finnish passport onlIne  photograph to the Police electronically. Find your nearest photographer here: www.lupakuvienvastaanotto.fi/kuvaamoluettelo

2. Fill in the application online: www.poliisi.fi/online. Attach the photograph retrieval code that you received from the photographer to your application. Pay the application fee online. Finnish Passport Online

3. In certain cases, only the electronic application is required. In other cases, in addition to the application, the applicant must visit a police license services point in order to be identified prior to processing the application. When you fill in your application, the system will tell you whether you need to visit the police license services point. If a visit is required, your application will only be processed after the visit. Avoid queueing by booking an appointment in advance: https://asiointi.poliisi.fi/ajanvaraus-fe

You can also submit the entire application at the police license services point, but it is cheaper and quicker to submit the application online. The cheaper fee applies even if your electronic application requires a visit the police license services point. An electronic application cannot be submitted without a digital photograph delivered directly from the photographer to the police. The digital photograph can also be used when you are submitting the application entirely at a license services point. Finnish Passport Online

A passport photograph attached to an application shall not be older than six months.

If you apply for an identity card and a passport at the same time, a lower than normal fee will be charged for the card. This applies to both online applications and applications made at a license services point. Finnish Passport Online

Finnish passport online citizens residing abroad are issued by Finnish missions abroad instead of the Police. Using the Police’s eServices from abroad is not prohibited, but the same service level as found within Finland cannot be guaranteed. Finnish Passport Online

Applications submitted online are also paid for online. Paying with a credit card is also possible with the most common credit cards. An unpaid application will not become pending and the license official is unable to process it. Finnish Passport Online
