You can pay your notification in our online filing service in Finnish and Swedish as soon as the chairperson has signed the notification.

You can pay the fee:

  • to our bank account
  • at our customer service

How to pay fees at PRH

  • by debit card, or
  • by any of the following credit cards: Visa, Visa Electron, OK, Eurocard, Mastercard, Diners Club, or American Express.

The handling fees of the Register of Associations are based on the Act on Fees Charged for the Services of the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (1032/1992) and on the Decree of the Ministry of Employment and the Economy on the Chargeable Services of the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (1090/2018).
