Tampere Main Police Station, licence services

Main Police Station of Inre Finland Police Department
Tampere Main Police Station’s licence services are located in Hatanpään valtatie across from the bus station. You can apply for a passport, identity card, security field and other licences from us. We also handle matters concerning firearms permits. We mainly serve by appointment. We recommend handling matters online. If you do not have an appointment, please prepare to queue. Those who have booked an appointment are called by name in the Customer Service, without separate registration. Finished documents and driving licences after the end of a driving ban are collected from the Info counter without an appointment. The entrance to Tampere Main Police Station’s firearms inspection is in the lower courtyard of the building in Hatanpään valtatie. Firearms are inspected only by appointment on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. See our more detailed contact information and opening hours.

  • In emergencies, always dial 112.

    Prefer online services.
