Finnish Honorary Titles Act

The Finnish Honorary Titles Act governs the appointment and use of titles awarded for distinguished service or achievement, such as "Knight," "Commander," or "Professor." It sets the legal framework for granting, confirming, and commemorating these titles, ensuring they are used appropriately and honorably. The act aims to preserve the dignity and value of Finnish honorary titles, prevent misuse, and regulate their registration and documentation. Essentially, it defines the criteria and procedures for awarding intergenerational recognition of merit, maintaining the integrity of Finland’s system of honorary honors.
