About this statute

The police issue emergency passports. The Police Board decides on using emergency passports in Finland. With permission from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, a Finnish embassy, a consulate headed by a posted official, or another Finnish mission may issue an emergency passport, mainly for return travel and in exceptional cases for travel to another destination. Polisstyrelsen must protect the technical data in passports against unlawful access and handling. Passport applications must be made in writing, signed/photo-attached as required, and usually submitted personally to the police or the Ministry for Foreign Affairs depending on the passport type. Pass is issued by the specified authorities, and the issuing authority must make sure the passport data matches the application and the visible/technical data matches. A passport issued in these cases is valid only for the needed time, up to five years; for a military conscript, it may be limited to the end of the year when the person turns 28.
