Only individuals with the right to sign for their company and represent their company by themselves can use the new alcohol trade register’s e-services without an authorisation. 

This means that they need to grant an authorisation for other individuals or companies that submit product notifications, report sales data or apply for licences on their company’s behalf. The Suomi.fi website includes instructions on how individuals with the right to sign for their company can grant an authorisation for another individual or an accounting firm, for example. Note that an accounting firm must still grant its own staff a mandate to represent (suomi.fi). When granting an authorisation, note the following:

• Select “Mandate for transactions” as the authorisation type if the party to the authorisation is an individual or another company (for example, an accounting firm or the company on whose behalf you want to act) for which you want an authorisation.  Do not select Valvira as a party. 
• Select “Applying permits and reporting of the alcohol sector” if you want to grant an authorisation to apply for alcohol licences and report data on your company’s behalf. If you only want to grant an authorisation to report data, select “Reporting of the alcohol sector to the authorities”. Do not select any other authorisations – select either of these two.
• Note that if a mandate for transactions has been granted to a company, the other company must still grant its entire staff a mandate to represent, including the individual with the right to sign.

More information about requesting an authorisation is available on the Suomi.fi website. Also start using Suomi.fi Messages to receive email notifications of messages available in Allu. Instructions on how to activate the Suomi.fi Messages service are available on the Suomi.fi website.
