Notification of changes for limited liability companies to the Finnish Trade Register
If limited liability companies’ registered details change, they must file a notification of the changes with the Finnish Trade Register.
Several decisions of limited liability companies do not come into force until they are registered.
The details contained in the Finnish Trade Register are used for checking the representatives and background of limited liability companies. By submitting a notification, you ensure that the Finnish Trade Register is providing up-to-date information about your company.
Before submitting the notification of changes, check the registered details in the Virre Information ServiceOpen link in a new tab.
Please note that all the details filed with the notification of changes are registered simultaneously.
What do I file?
File the following with the Finnish Trade Register:
- Changes in the limited liability company (instructions in the menu by topic)
- Changes to address and contact details
- Beneficial owner details and changes to them
- Financial statements
Shareholder details are not registered with the Finnish Trade Register, and therefore no notifications of changes have to be filed about shareholder changes
If the shareholders change, it often means that the board of directors or the managing director changes, and a notification of changes must be filed about it. Limited liability companies themselves are obliged to keep a shareholder register. The matter is regulated by chapter 3, section 15 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act.
How to file

What to do if you cannot file your notification in the online service at ytj.fi
Some of the limited liability company’s notifications or applications cannot be filed in the online service at ytj.fi. In addition, it is not possible for a citizen of another EU country to file notifications in the online service at ytj.fi if he or she does not have a Finnish personal identity code and Finnish means of identification.
