Sending secure email messages

If you want to send confidential or sensitive documents to the Ministry of Justice or agencies in its administrative branch, it is advisable to do so using the Ministry of Justice’s secure email service (Turvaviesti). The service is easy and safe to use and free of charge.

When sending a secure email message, insert the necessary identification information to the subject field, content and attachments of your message. This way, the recipient knows who has sent the message, what it pertains to and can forward it to the right person.

How to send a secure email

• Go to secure email. Write your email address in the From box and click on Continue.
• If you are using the service for the first time, or if a long time has elapsed since the last time you used the service, you need to register in the service. Click on Register.
• The service informs you of successful registration. An automatic message will be sent to your email address including a link for sending a secure message. Go to your email.
• Open the message you have received from the secure email service.
  • If you cannot find the message in your inbox, check your junk mail folder.
• The message contains instructions in Finnish, Swedish and English and links through which the secure message can be sent. If you want to send a message in English, click on the link below the instruction text in English.
• Add the email addresses of the recipient(s). Write down the subject and content of the message and add any necessary attachments. Click on Send. The maximum size of an attachment is 400 MB. You can also send zipped attachments.
• You will then receive a confirmation email saying that your message was sent successfully.
