Hi All,
I have changed my address in Posti and all the mails(post) have been sent to my new address but I can see that the mail from DVV still contains my old address. How can I change the address in DVV registration?
I got a post from DVV regarding activation of citizenship certificate. Is it mandatory to do that? I have got the activation number but don't have the card reader. Please guide me about how to activate the citizenship certificate.
Registering change of address in DVV
Re: Registering change of address in DVV
If you have moved to a new address you are supposed to change your official address with DVV first. If I recall, changing the address in DVV will automatically change the address with Posti as well but I do not think just changing the address with Posti will change your official address with DVV. The DVV address change is the more important and needs to be techincally done before or very soon after the move. To be more precise,
"submit a notification of move at the earliest one month before the date of the move or at the latest one week after the move."

I am not familiar with the "citizenship certificate" as I never used that.

Re: Registering change of address in DVV
Posti and DVV are separate databases and don’t need to contain the same address. They can be changed with a unified process though.browndude wrote: ↑Sun Sep 11, 2022 5:44 pmIf you have moved to a new address you are supposed to change your official address with DVV first.

Re: Registering change of address in DVV
You can notify the change of address via POSTI (https://www.posti.fi/en/private/change-address). It will change the address in both POSTI and DVV.
DVV will take some time to update the new address. Sometimes between 30 - 45 days.
