Invoicing

The National Land Survey of Finland primarily processes all invoices electronically.

How to receive invoices from the National Land Survey of Finland

Individual customers

1. E-invoice

All NLS customers can order their invoices as e-invoices instead of the traditional paper invoice. E-invoices are an easy, safe and automatic way to receive NLS invoices through your online banking service. 

The simplest way to start using e-invoices is to order them through your online banking service. 

  • Make sure that you have made an e-invoice agreement with your bank first. 
  • Your bank’s online service will have a list of invoicers who are able to send e-invoices. 
  • Find the National Land Survey of Finland (Maanmittauslaitos) on the list and enter the requested identification information, i.e. your personal identity code. 

For more information on ordering e-invoices, contact your bank. 

If you do not have access to an online banking service, the easiest and safest way to pay invoices is direct payment. With this option, NLS sends your invoice directly to your bank. Contact your bank to make an agreement on direct payments. 

2. MobilePay 

  • Private customers of the National Land Survey of Finland can also pay invoices through the MobilePay application if the paper invoice contains a payment-enabling QR code or if there is a payment button on Suomi.fi and OmaPosti invoices. 
  • Invoices can also be ordered directly to the MobilePay application in connection with payment. 

3. OmaPosti  

  • If you are using Posti’s OmaPosti service, you will receive the National Land Survey’s invoices electronically through the OmaPosti service.  
  • It is recommended that you check that the email address you have entered in the OmaPosti service is correct and valid in order to receive notifications about messages and invoices. 

4. Kivra

  • If you use the Kivra digital mail service, you can receive invoices from the National Land Survey of Finland (NLS) electronically.
  • The NLS sends invoices automatically to the Kivra digital mail service for customers who use Kivra but have not ordered a separate e-invoice or MobilePay invoice or do not use OmaPosti.
  • Please check that the email address you have entered in Kivra is correct and valid, so that you receive notifications of messages and invoices. 

5. Suomi.fi service

  • The NLS sends invoices automatically to the Suomi.fi Messages service for customers who use the service but have not ordered a separate e-invoice or MobilePay invoice and do not use any of the services mentioned above.
  • If you use the service, you will no longer be sent paper invoices from the NLS.  
  • It is recommended that you check that the email address you have entered in the Suomi.fi Messages service is correct and valid in order to receive notifications about messages and invoices.  

For further information about Suomi.fi messages, see Suomi.fi online service. You can also log in to your own messages through the same link. 

6. Paper invoices

  • If you do not use any of the electronic services mentioned above, we will send invoices by post to the address registered for you in the Population Information System.
