It is always recommended to start the application process online
Online services of the police will be available as usual during the Christmas period. Most police application matters can be started online, and the online service of the police informs the customer if it is necessary to visit a police station in person.
If the online service indicates that an identification visit is required, it is advisable to make an advance appointment for the visit.
– At Lohja and Raseborg Police Stations, you can get an appointment almost for the next weekday, and in Espoo in less than two weeks, says Erika Karjaluoto, Chief of Licence Services.
An identification card and passport will be ready in the normal delivery time, in other words within about eight work days after the order has been processed
