Name some official thing in Turku which isn't bilingual?

All kela forms are bilingual as well.

Also, you can definitely change your native language. My former roommate had his set to Swedish because his mother is Swedish-Finnish, but he barely speaks a whole sentence of Swedish. He only changed it when he was around 22. Up until then all official papers he got were in Swedish.

Maybe you're talking about Tampere, it's not as bilingual as the capital area and especially Turku. And I definitely believe that you're not able to change your language, but legally, you should be able to. I just know local health services just don't give a shit about that.
