N.B. If the contract in the case at hand was signed by your spouse or other family member, please ask them to identify themselves on the FINE's online service and authorise you there to act as their representative.
If you are not able to identify yourself as described above, please print the form on paper and fill it in.
To go on with the case, you need an authorisation from the person or party in the name of whom you are acting (principal).
Please ask the principal you are representing to identify themselves on the FINE's online service to authorise you there to act as their representative.
N.B. A general power of attorney is not sufficient but the principal must always fill in the FINE authorisation. To examine the case, FINE needs the principal’s authorisation to override the confidentiality regulations and get the necessary information from the counterpart, i.e., the service provider.
If it is not possible for the principal to identify themselves on the FINE's online service, please print the form and ask the principal to fill in the FINE authorisation form on paper. If you already have the FINE authorisation form signed by the principal, you can attach a scan to the FINE e-form.
The FINE authorisation is required from all beneficiaries or joint owners of the death estate. Please ask each joint owner to fill in and sign the FINE authorisation form on paper, appointing you as their representative. After this, please fill in the contact form (electronically or on paper) and attach the FINE authorisation forms filled in by the joint owners of the death estate, also appending the estate inventory deed which shows the names of all joint owners. Please do not forget to inform all joint owners of the procedure followed by FINE in handing personal data.
If you are taking care of the case for a minor and are not the person who has signed the contract in the case at hand, you need an authorisation from the child’s guardian who has signed the contract. Please ask the other guardian to identify themselves on the FINE's online service and to authorise you there to act as their representative. Please indicate the name of the minor in the further information field of the form.
Sometimes other situations will also require both parents’ (guardians’) authorisations.
In addition, the FINE authorisation may be required from the minor in question, for example, if the case involves information on their health. As a main rule, the authorisation is required in cases involving a person of 15 years or older. The authorisation is required even if you are their guardian. If the minor does not have their own online banking IDs, please ask them to fill in the FINE authorisation form on paper, authorising you to act as their representative. After this, you should fill in the FINE form (electronically or on paper), attaching the FINE authorisation form filled in by the minor. Please do not forget to inform the minor of the procedure followed by FINE in handing personal data.
Please identify yourself on the FINE's online service and attach a copy of the formal decision on legal trusteeship showing that you are the legal trustee of the person in question.
