Tracing to find a missing person

The national Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies around the world participate in finding missing family members. The Finnish Red Cross is a part of this worldwide network.

The International Committee of the Red Cross leads tracing work in connection with natural disasters and conflicts. The Committee carries out about 10,000 new tracing enquiries every year.

To leave a tracing request, you must fill in the appropriate form and deliver it to the Finnish Red Cross headquarters, from where the information is forwarded to the target country.

This page contains instructions and forms in several languages.

If you have any questions related to tracing, you can also contact the Finnish Red Cross headquarters. You can leave us an electronic contact request, where you can provide more details about the assistance you need. We will get in touch with you as soon as possible.
