About our website

Avi.fi is the website of the Regional State Administrative Agency.

The website is our primary channel of communication. Its aim is to guide and instruct our customers in matters related to our branches of administration. Our website contains information, instructions as well as links to forms and registers of the Regional State Administrative Agency.

Our target groups are individual customers, authorities as well as companies and communities.

The Finnish and Swedish content on the site are identical. The English content is identical to that of the Finnish and Swedish language version, with the exception of the Newsroom pages. In addition, content can be found in all three Sámi languages: Inari Sámi, Skolt Sámi and Northern Sámi.

You may not be able to find a direct response to your individual situation on the site. We recommend that you also read the legal links. Decisions made by authorities are always based on legislation - not on the content of this website.

We aim to keep the content on the avi.fi website accurate and up-to-date. If you would like to give us feedback on our site, you can send us a message using our feedback form.
