Ordering smart cards
Social and healthcare smart cards issued by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency’s certificate service include the professional card, personnel card, operator card, and replacement card.
For employees of the wellbeing services county, the smart card is free of charge.
You can order the smart card from the county’s own registration points. More detailed information is available on the LUVN intranet.
For employees of cities, municipalities, or the private sector, the card is subject to a fee.
Ordering a new professional card requires a personal visit to a registration point. If you need an organization card or an operator card, please contact your supervisor, who will provide instructions and complete the employment certificate. Bring the signed certificate with you to the registration point.
You can renew a valid Sote professional card in the OmaKortti service(external link). If the card has expired or been lost, or if you need a PUK code, the order requires a personal visit to a registration point.
