E-mail communications with customers living outside Finland

Clients who live outside Finland can contact the Overpayment Recovery Centre via email if they do not have a Finnish online bank user ID or mobile certificate and are therefore unable to access Kela's online customer service system.

If you have a question concerning

• the collection of child support debt from abroad or the recovery of benefits under EU regulation no. 883/2004, please send email to: ulkomaanperinta at kela.fi
• the recovery of benefits or the collection of government guaranteed student loan debt, please send email to: ulkomaanperinta at kela.fi
