Chairperson or other persons entitled to sign for the association – notification of changes

Two kinds of persons entitled to sign are filed with the Register of Associations: persons authorised by the rules to sign and persons appointed to sign for the association. Read more about the persons entitled to sign for the association.

File the changes of the persons entitled to sign for the association in the online service or by using a paper form. It is faster to file online than by using paper forms. Please note that both the online service and the paper forms are only available in Finnish and in Swedish.

When do I file the notification?

File the notification without delay.

Who files the notification online?

The chairperson of the association’s executive committee signs the notification.

If the association has filed its executive committee with the Register of Associations, then any adult committee member can also sign the notification. Associations have been able to file the executive committee for registration from 18 September 2019.

Please note: Committee members who have only been registered as persons entitled to sign for the association have no right to sign the notification.

The person who signs the notification must have a Finnish personal identity code, and personal internet banking codes, a mobile certificate, or an electronic identity card (HST card).

If the person who fills in the notification is not entitled to sign for the association, he or she must give the filing ID (asiointitunnus, ärendenummer) of the notification to the person entitled to sign, so that the person can log in to the service to sign the notification.

What does it cost to file online?

A notification of changes concerning persons entitled to sign for the association costs 25 euros.

At the same time, you can file changes concerning the executive committee without any additional fee. Read more about how to file executive committee details.

Pay the notification online with your internet banking codes or by credit card. Read more in our price list.
