If you apply for a new residence permit card for your child who is under 18 years old, you need to mention the child’s customer number so that he or she can avoid having to visit a service point.

After you have submitted your application, Enter Finland will tell you whether you need to visit a service point or not.

A visit to a service point is always required if you are renewing your card due to changes in your name. You can fill in the application form in Enter Finland in advance.
