Inaccurate contact details in the details of a company or association
File a rectification request with the PRH if your address or another contact detail such as your phone number or e-mail address is used in a company or association in which you do not hold a position of responsibility.
You must file the rectification request with the PRH yourself. Another person cannot file the rectification request on your behalf.
Filing the rectification request is free of charge.
We will check the address against the information in the Finnish Population Information System.
Please note: we will not remove the address or another contact detail from the register if you hold a position of responsibility in the company or association in question. For example, a board member may be a person in a position of responsibility.
