Certificate of existence
A person can be issued with a certificate of existence for a reasonable purpose, such as for drawing the pension or for an estate inventory. The person must visit the mission in person and prove their identity. Finland’s honorary consuls may also issue the relevant notarial certificate.
Certificate of Life in the UK

A personal visit with a reliable proof of identity (passport or identity card) is required. Fees apply, please see: Service fees (Opens New Window).
