Invoicing Address and Instructions

The invoicing addresses of the German Congregation in Finland have changed as of 1 January 2026 and are valid without exception from that date onward. The addressing details have changed for both e-invoices and paper invoices. Suppliers are required and kindly requested to update the invoicing details without delay in their customer records. Paper invoices sent to our postal address in Helsinki will not be accepted.

The Church Service Centre (Kirkon palvelukeskus / Kipa) is responsible for processing all incoming invoices addressed to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland (ELV) and its affiliated parishes.

Accordingly, as of 1 January 2026, the German Evangelical Lutheran Parish in Finland, under its official name “Tyska Ev.-Luth. Församlingen i Finland”, is also a customer of the Church Service Centre. CGI Suomi Oy acts as the invoice intermediary and e–invoice operator.

E–Invoices (Structured Electronic Invoices)

Tyska Ev.-Luth. Församlingen i Finland
OVT ID: 003702136796
E-invoice operator: CGI
Intermediary ID: 003703575029

These details apply only to structured electronic invoices (e-invoices) and are binding as of 1 January 2026. E-invoices are created in a standardized, machine-readable electronic format (in accordance with Finvoice 3.0 or TEAPPSXML 3.0) and transmitted via an e–invoice operator. They enable automated processing and are not PDF or image files.

Instructions for the Supplier Portal (PORIS)

Invoices should primarily be submitted as structured e-invoices. If you are unable to send e–invoices from your billing system, you may alternatively use the free supplier portal, a service for the electronic creation and submission of invoices. Use of the supplier portal requires your registration, which is completed by filling in the registration form on the following website: https://evl.fi/plus/hallinto-ja-talous/koko-kirkon-talous/kirkon-palvelukeskus/lomake-toimittajaportaalin-kayttajatunnuksen-tilaaminen-kipa/toimittajaportaalin-kayttajatunnuksen-tilaaminen/

Before your first login, we recommend familiarizing yourself with the user guide for the supplier portal: https://evl.fi/plus/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/11/Toimittajaportaali_Kayttoohje_Laskuttaja_FI_v2.0.pdf

Paper invoices include all invoices not submitted as structured e–invoices. They may be submitted either by post to the address above or as scanned PDF files by email. Only invoice documents are accepted at the address designated for paper invoices. Other attachments or supplementary materials will not be scanned or forwarded. Paper invoices submitted with incorrect, outdated, or incomplete address details will not be processed. Please note that the currently valid invoicing address must always be clearly visible on the invoice image, both for e–invoices and paper invoices. If the official invoicing address is missing from the invoice image of a paper invoice, the invoice cannot be processed by the scan centre.
