MINISTRY OF JUSTICE INFORMS, December 2011:
The extract on criminal background, which is required of people working with children and can be obtained from the Legal Register Centre, becomes subject to a charge. From the beginning of the next year, the extract will be subject to a charge in accordance with the Act on Criteria for Charges Payable to the State, which means that the size of the charge corresponds to the actual costs incurred from issuing the extract. The charge will be 13.40 euros. An invoice will be sent separately.
From the beginning of the year 2012, an extract on criminal background is also required of students for on-the-job learning or training that is carried out with children. Students will obtain the extract free of charge.
The extract from the criminal records ordered by a private person for any other purpose, such as for a foreign work or residence permit, is already nowadays subject to a charge.

Ministry of Justice informs:
New telephone and fax numbers were taken into use in courts of law, prosecution service, enforcement, legal aid and public guardianship and other offices in the judicial administration on 15 November 2011.
This means that numbers that started with 010 36 will now start with 029 56. The end part of the numbers stays the same. In connection with this reform, the numbers starting with 0100 will be taken out of use.
The old numbers will work alongside the new ones until 1 March 2012. After that, calls to the old numbers starting with 010 and 0100 will be transferred to a voice message about the new numbers. The old numbers will be disconnected in the summer of 2012.
The price for calls
Only a local network fee or a mobile call fee determined by the caller's operator will be charged for a (029 56) phone call to any of the units within the administrative sector.
The price for calls to 0100 service numbers or to mobile phone numbers (e.g. numbers starting with 040 or 050) is the local network fee or mobile call fee charged by your operator.
When calling from abroad, the price is determined by the local operator.
Numbers that are taken out of use on 15 November 2011
When calling to the old exchange of the judicial administration (starting with 010 36) and to its extensions after 15 November 2011, the price is
* from a domestic fixed telephone network subscription 8.28 c/call + 5.95 c/min
* from any mobile network subscription 8.28 c/call + 17.04 c/min.
The prices include value added tax (23 %).
