I would prefer not to send information about my name change to your general email address. Is there any other alternative available for this?

Here's how our customer service expert, Aleksi, addresses the concern:

"It is of utmost importance to us that we handle all changes in personal information sensitively and with respect for the customer's privacy. Sending a copy of your name change certificate via email is possible, but if you don't have a printer at home, electronic submission may be more convenient. In that case, you can inform our customer service, and we will provide you with the email address of a specific staff member. This way, only that particular staff member and the test instructor ordering the new hygiene passport will handle your order and personal information."

PLEASE NOTE: Please do not send sensitive personal information such as your social security number via email.

Safety and privacy are top priorities for us at Hygienepassport.fi. While we offer an electronic option for submitting name change certificates, we understand that certain information should be protected with the utmost care. Sensitive data, such as social security numbers, should always be handled with care and adequate security measures.

We recommend avoiding the transmission of sensitive information, including social security numbers and other highly confidential data, via email.

We are committed to ensuring that you have a completely secure experience with us.
