Can I get a library card even though I don´t have a finnish personal number?

You can get a library card if you have an address in Finland. Without Finnish personal identity number your card is valid for twelve months at a time.

To receive your card take a valid photo ID with you when you visit a library. Libraries in Helmet-area accept the following ID cards:

• I.D. cards from EU countries
• passports
• Finnish driving licences
• Finnish SII cards with photos, for those under 18 years also without photos 
• resident cards issued by any reception centre in Finland
• residence permit card issued by the Finnish Immigration Service.
