Payment instructions for notifications filed online

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

  • The recipient (Finnish Patent and Registration Office, PRH)
  • The account number to which the money was transferred (PRH’s bank account)
  • The bank’s archive number
  • The sum paid in euros
  • In the message field: type of notification (either start-up notification or notification of change) as well as the name of association and Business ID (if any). No reference number is needed.

You can pay the fee:

  • to our bank account
  • at our customer service

How to pay fees at PRH

If you deliver your notification in person to our Customer Service, Sörnäisten rantatie 13 C in Helsinki, you can pay the handling fee

  • 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).
