Not all users have received email notifications for new Suomi.fi Messages
All the official notifications sent to citizens have arrived in the service as normal, but due to this fault, some service users may have remained unaware that new messages have arrived for them in Suomi.fi Messages. The Digital and Population Data Services Agency recommends all citizens using Suomi.fi Messages to check for new messages in the Suomi.fi Messages service.
In case of problems, contact the authority that sent the message
The number of messages being sent through Suomi.fi Messages is increasing rapidly. For example, around 563,000 separate messages were sent through the service in December 2019. The service has been in use since 2018. There have been some individual short service outages before, but the recently identified fault is the first significant problem with the service.
‘We are sorry for any trouble it has caused to users. Most of the notifications arriving through the service do not require the recipient to take any action. However, some of them may be urgent notifications. In those situations, it is worth first contacting the authority that sent the message to discuss the matter,’ explains Director Timo Salovaara from Digital and Population Data Services Agency.
‘All authorities that use Suomi.fi Messages have been informed about the fault, and we have started to inform all citizens that use Suomi.fi Messages. This fault with the email notifications was very unusual and has already been fixed, and we hope that it will not affect citizens’ willingness to start using Suomi.fi Messages. We strongly believe that e-services are very useful and we are certainly doing all we can to maintain people’s trust in these services,’ Director Salovaara adds.
What are Suomi.fi Messages?
Through Suomi.fi Messages, citizens can receive notifications, decisions and other notices from authorities in a secure digital form. Instead of arriving by post, the messages are sent to the messages section of the Suomi.fi online service, which you can log in to using banking codes or a mobile certificate. The authorities that use the service include the Finnish Tax Administration, the National Land Survey of Finland, the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom, the enforcement offices and a number of hospital districts, municipalities and cities. The Digital and Population Data Services Agency is responsible for the maintenance and development of the service. The use of the service is growing rapidly. It is currently used by 340,000 citizens and 260 authorities.
