Oh, didn't notice, the last one "may not be folded".

I would not wish to point that all this information is *translated and explained with details* at a Finnish Embassy website... http://www.finland.org

Signature
Passport applications must be signed in black ink in the orange box in the presence of the official receiving them. If mailed, the application must be signed in the presence of a notary public and be accompanied by an affidavit. The signature (place Paikka and date Päiväys) must be entered halfway down the form after the words Hakijan allekirjoitus.

and a friendly
DO NOT FOLD THE APPLICATION!

Well, as any Finn would know, the forms real purpose is to confuse the psychic spies from China.
