Suomi.fi vs ID Verifier

With the Suomi.fi application, you can electronically receive messages sent by authorities using the service directly to your device instead of by paper mail. Messages include invoices, messages requiring confirmation of receipt and decisions. The Digital and Population Data Services Agency is responsible for the service. You can also use the Suomi.fi application to submit additional information to several authorities, for example for an application you have filed. Messages between your device and the servers will be encrypted, ensuring that the use of the Suomi.fi app will be reliable and secure. You can also use the Suomi.fi application on behalf of a company if you have the authority to sign for it alone. When using the application for the first time, the app requires strong authentication with banking IDs or a mobile certificate. After this, you can identify yourself with a PIN code set for the application or fingerprint recognition on your device. However, the application may occasionally direct you to use strong identification again for information security reasons.
