Email of the Supreme Administrative Court registry

Emails relating to appeals must always be sent to the Supreme Administrative Court’s office email address. The email accounts of the staff of the Supreme Administrative Court are not intended for this purpose. The registry’s email address is korkein.hallinto-oikeus(at)oikeus.fi. Change (at) for the @ symbol when sending an email.

If you use email, you will receive an automatic notification, i.e. a confirmation of receipt, once your message has been sent successfully. Only an acknowledgement of receipt from the Supreme Administrative Court constitutes reliable proof that the sending was successful. If you do not receive an acknowledgement of receipt, please contact the Supreme Administrative Court registry to ensure that your message has been received. Please note, however, that there may be technical delays in the automatic acknowledgement of receipt.

Use the secure email message service if necessary

You can send confidential and sensitive documents using the Ministry of Justice’s secure email message service (link). The service is free of charge to use and is secure.
