Registry and city archive

Registry Office

Riihimäki's centralized registry office serves as the city's official business address.

City Archives

The city's central archive stores the documents of the city's operating units that are kept permanently and for a long time (more than 10 years), as well as the archives of the corresponding boards, agencies, commissions, etc. that have ceased operations. Documents older than 10 years of operating units will be transferred to the city's central archive.

The documents of the city's central archive are mainly public, with the exception of exceptions stipulated by law. All municipal residents have access to the archive. However, the original documents are not loaned out, but they can be consulted at the city's office (Matkakeskus 5th floor, Eteläinen Asemakatu 2, administration and konserni). If necessary, you can also get certified copies of them, which are paid for.

Orders for certificates, copies and settlement can be made by letter, electronically, by phone or in person on site. For larger orders, you should call the archive in advance and tell them what information you need. The delivery time varies depending on the scope of the request, the work situation and the accuracy of the basic information.
