Trade Register Act Soon Amended


The Finnish Trademark Office announced on its website that the Trade Register Act will be amended at the beginning of 2014. The amendment requires that the last four digits of the personal identity code and home addresses must not be publicly displayed. The legislation reform substantially affects the Trade Register’s information services and the notifications sent to the register.

From the start of 2014, the Trade Register basically continues to be a public register providing a wide range of information on businesses and their operations. However, the amendment to the Act will mean that the information contained in the register will decrease and the information provided on personal data will be reduced. Disclosing the last four digits of the personal identity code from the Trade Register will no longer be allowed; in addition the information on home addresses of natural persons living abroad will be strictly regulated.
