Kela’s e-service for EU citizens has been redesigned

Published 16/11/2023

Via the web page, citizens of other EU countries can henceforth send applications and documents to Kela online. 

Citizens of other EU countries can handle their Kela contacts online via a web page designed specifically for them. Until now, it has via the web page been possible for customers to send messages and ask for advice or ask Kela to contact them. Henceforth customers can also send applications and documents to Kela via the web page.

An eIDAS identification tool is used to log in to the web page. The common European eIDAS is an identification method for EU citizens with the help of which customers can log in to for instance Kela’s e-service with their own country’s identification tools.

How to manage your Kela-related matters via the e-service

  1. Select Kirjaudu - OmaKela at the top of the kela.fi page.
  2. Select Ulkomaalaisen tunnistustavat and log in with the identification tools of your own country. 
  3. Via the page you can send messages, application forms and documents to Kela.
