Booking an appointment

You can use the online appointment booking service to book an appointment for children’s agreement matters.
You can log into the online appointment booking service using your online banking codes, mobile certificate, or certificate card. After authentication, the service will verify your personal information via the Population Information System. After this, you can fill in the preliminary information for the appointment, choose an available time and book an online appointment with a child supervisor. You can also opt to receive appointment reminders via text message.

If you need an interpreter for the meeting, you cannot book an appointment via the online appointment booking service. Clients who need an interpreter can only book appointments by phone, tel. 09 3104 4999 Mon–Fri 9:00–11:00. In child support matters, you can visit child supervisors without an appointment using the walk-in service (the service is currently unavailable due to the coronavirus situation).

The online appointment booking service lists available appointments for the next three months only. If you do not see any green days in the calendar that opens up after answering the preliminary questions, all available appointments are currently booked. If this is the case, please try logging in again later: available times are constantly being added and booked appointments are also cancelled, which makes them available for others. You can book an appointment directly with the information that you have already entered via the bottom part of your client card (Lastenvalvojat -Käynnissä). Alternatively, you can also book an appointment with a child supervisor by phone, tel. 09 3104 4999 Mon–Fri 9:00–11:00.

Matters for which you can book an appointment online

You can use the online appointment booking service to book an appointment with a child supervisor for agreement matters pertaining to a child’s maintenance, living arrangements, meetings rights or child support. In agreement matters, the parties to the agreement are the child’s parents, because of which both parents are generally expected to attend appointments and the parent who makes the appointment should also inform the other parent about the appointment. In child support matters, parents should bring with them the necessary income and expense statements and the completed asset information form (paper printout, available below in Finnish).
