Official mail becomes electronic 14th April – learn more in webinars
In 2026, when legislation on the digital priority of official mail comes into force, mail from public authorities in Finland will primarily be electronic. In January 2026, the Digital and Population Data Services Agency will organise webinars for citizens to explain the transition to digital official mail.
The webinars will cover the basics of the change:
- how official mail will change,
- what the change will mean,
- when the change will take place,
- who the change applies to,
- how a person can return to receiving paper mail if necessary
People can also ask questions at the webinars. A participation link will be sent to all registered participants before a webinar. The webinars will be recorded, and a link to the recording will be sent to the participants of a webinar.
The webinar in Finnish on 9 April can be followed via Yle Areena. The recording will be available in the service for 30 days.
