Employee's Electronic Personal Data Form

1. Log in to the service at https://eforms.oulu.fi.

2. Choose first "Please log in to use electronic forms". (Picture 1.). New page will open, where you can choose a suitable login option.

   A. Choose Log in with your M365 account if you have a valid M365 account at the University of Oulu, NB. As a rule, you cannot login to e-Forms using a fixed-term UFO user account (excluding few exceptions), but you can use Suomi.fi login method instead.

   • Add the full username to the login windows including the part after @-sign. The form of your account username is username@student.oulu.fi (for student) or username@univ.yo.oulu.fi (for staff).
   • Note that MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) is deployed for all university user accounts, so additional authentication may be required, i.e. you verify your login with your mobile phone.

   B. Choose Log in with Suomi.fi authentication, if you do not have a valid university M365 user account of the University of Oulu.

   • Suomi.fi e-Identification is a shared strong identification service of public administration e-services. You can identify yourself with Finnish online bank credentials, certificate card or mobile certificate and with the certain European identification tokens (elDAS) and Finnish Authenticator application. See more information about e-Identification.
   • After identification, the browser returns to e-Forms.
   • If you log in for the first time, the system will ask you to add your email address. Add a personal email address where you can receive incoming notifications from the service (university address "@oulu.fi" in not accepted). The automatic notifications are about your form and it's process.

• You can change the language from the top right corner of the page.
• Eforms is easier to use on a computer than on a mobile device/phone browser, since there isn't a mobile app available for eForms.
• Do not use Internet Explorer (IE) browser because it is no longer supported and the forms do not work correctly on this browser.
• If you use a link directing to a specific form, you need to log in first to the e-Forms service; otherwise the page states that you don't have access rights to the page.
• Be sure to log out when you stop using the service, especially if you use the service on a shared computer. The “logout” button is in the top right corner of the page.
