The certificate for reporting to the Incomes Register is valid for two years. If the certificate is renewed while it is still valid, the renewal does not require strong authentication in the Tax administration online service.
If the certificate has already expired, it must be reapplied for according to these instructions from step 2 onwards.
Procountor does not provide a notification about the expiring certificate. Tax administration sends a reminder to a person, whose contact information was given to Incomes Register when obtaining the certificate for the first time.
Note!
The Finnish Tax Administration’s certificate service has changed the way certificates are used.
When renewing certificates ordered in the Incomes Register’s service before 24 October 2024, they will no longer work in the Vero API interfaces if the certificate does not have the Vero API interface access right.
After renewing the certificate, you must go the Tax Administration’s certificate service to submit a replacement interface application. This replacement application is required when using Vero API interfaces, for example, the function for retrieving withholding information.
How to proceed:
Log in to the Tax Administration’s certificate service.
Select Submit a replacement application.
Add Vero API interface to the selections.
You do not need to order a new certificate. Once the access right is activated, the Tax Administration will automatically enable the certificate for Vero API use. For more detailed instructions, please contact the Tax Administration’s customer service.

The certificate can be renewed earliest 60 days before it expires.
The renewal request can be submitted by a user with full user rights to the Notifications (Management > Users and privileges).
2. Go to Incomes Register Reporting Certificates view (Notifications > Incomes register > Certificate).
