Section 1. Information of the people requesting the documents
Fill in your first name, surname, personal identity number and telephone number.
Include also your e-mail address if you want the response to your request to be delivered to you via secure e-mail. Secure e-mail here refers to encrypted e-mail. It allows for sending and receiving data safely to any e-mail address. The recipient will be sent a link via e-mail, and the actual e-mail message will be shown via a secure browser connection after clicking the link. For security reasons, the link can then later only be opened via the same browser first used for opening it, and the message will be available to read for 30 days. The message and its attachments can be saved to your own computer.
If you want the response to be sent by post, please fill in your street address.
