Syntymätodistus ulkomaille

A Finnish phrase!

"Syntymätodistus" is the Finnish word for "birth certificate". If you're looking to obtain a birth certificate for use abroad, here are the steps:

  1. Order a copy of your birth certificate: You can order a copy of your birth certificate from the Finnish Population Register Centre (Väestörekisterikeskus) or from the municipality where you were born. You'll need to provide your personal identification number (henkilötunnus) and pay a fee.
  2. Get the certificate translated: If your birth certificate is not in English, you'll need to have it translated by a certified translator. You can find a list of certified translators on the Finnish Ministry of Justice's website.
  3. Get the certificate apostilled: Apostille is a special stamp or certificate that confirms the authenticity of a document. You'll need to have your birth certificate apostilled by the Ministry of Justice or the Finnish Embassy/Consulate in the country where you're applying for a visa or residence permit.

Remember to check the specific requirements for the country you're applying to, as they may have additional requirements or different procedures for accepting foreign documents.
