    How do you notify a change of address in Finland?

    Where to make the notice and how fast it updates.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    DVV says you must make a notification of move every time you move, and one notification at muuttoilmoitus.fi reaches both DVV and Posti. If the details are in order, the notification is processed automatically, and the address and municipality update on the moving day or the next working day. DVV advises making the notification only once, because a second one slows down registration.

    Practical: communication, money, services

    Why

    1. DVV says one notification at muuttoilmoitus.fi informs both DVV and Posti.
    2. DVV says details update on the moving day or the next working day.
    3. The Finnish Tax Administration says a permanent move notified to DVV is enough for tax mail.

    Details

    Posti says you can also use a printed form, but only by handing it in at a Posti outlet or DVV service point with ID.

    Tip

    Add family members who move with you to the same notification.

    What may differ

    If your home is also your business address, the company needs its own change of address.

    Common misconception

    You must tell the tax office about every move yourself.

    What actually happens

    A permanent move notified to DVV is enough for the Tax Administration.
