Statute overview

About this statute

If a child got Finnish citizenship through the father’s Finnish citizenship and paternity is later annulled, the magistrate must notify the Finnish Immigration Service after learning of it. Magistraten must ask Migrationsverket to determine a child’s citizenship status in specified cases, and must also ask for a person’s citizenship status if there is reason to believe a registered Finnish citizen is not actually Finnish. The authority that receives a Finnish citizenship application or notification must check the applicant’s identity using a valid passport or another reliable identity document. If a child lacks such a document, the authority must establish the child’s identity by further investigation, hearing the applicant, or another reliable method. Polisinrättningen i häradet must kontrollera certain applicant information and, in some cases, attach criminal-record and related case information to the application or citizenship notice. An application or citizenship notification submitted to an honorary consulate must include proof that the Migration Agency’s processing fee has been paid.
