Question 3

Is the contact person a juridical or physical person?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

A Contact Person in Estonia may be appointed as either a natural person (individual) or a legal entity (company), depending on the service provider’s structure and legal basis.

Our legal entity option means the Contact Person service is provided through our licensed corporate service structure.

Our activity is supported by an official authorisation issued by the Estonian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications, ensuring the service is compliant and professionally managed.

Question 4

Is mail scanning and forwarding, and forwarding of small packages are also within the service?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

If there are some letters per year we will scan or onward them for free and charge only posting costs. We don’t wrestle with small packages, right now.

Question 5

How to add or change address in the business registry?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

The address must always be up to date.

The address must be updated whenever your company’s legal address changes or you lose the right to use it. The address recorded in the Commercial Register must always remain valid for receiving official notices.

Changing the address of an existing company

Prepare an amendment application in the e-Business Register.
Is the new address in the same municipality?
- Yes → Submit the application only. No state fee, no extra documents.
- No (different city/county) →
  - Adopt amended Articles of Association (AoA) at a shareholders’ meeting.
  - Upload the signed AoA and the meeting minutes/shareholders’ resolution.
  - Pay the state fee shown in the e-service.
Pay the fee instantly via Estonian bank link (or use the bank details and reference number displayed at check-out). The Register will not process your filing until the fee is received.
Need help? If you encounter a payment issue, let us know—we will settle the fee on your behalf at no charge.

Adding the address during company formation

In the e-Business Register formation wizard, the founder enters the address once; it automatically appears in the foundation decision, the AoA, and the future registry card.
You can choose our address from the drop-down list or enter it manually—full instructions are included in your order confirmation.

Only a management board member who holds a valid Estonian ID card, Mobile-ID, Smart-ID, or e-Residency card may submit the address change online.

Each required signer must have the same form of digital ID; if an owner or other authorised person lacks it, the change can still be completed either by granting a notarised power of attorney or by appearing in person before an Estonian notary.

You can download detailed step-by-step guides from your order confirmation, and if you can’t find them, we’ll resend them right away. Our team will guide you through every step—from drafting the minutes to uploading the files—so your Tallinn business address is listed on the registry card without delay.

Question 6

How the certificate/s will provided?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

Will be provided upon order or subscription renewal.

The address and/or certificate is issued automatically once your order is confirmed—or whenever your subscription renews—and emailed as a PDF to the e-mail address you provided at checkout.

If you can’t locate the message (including in your spam or promotions folder), just let us know, and we’ll resend the certificate right away.

The certificate is not an official document; it can be used in illustrative ways.

Question 7

How long is the Contact Person appointed for and how is consent given?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

A Contact Person can be appointed for a fixed term (e.g. one year).

Once the term expires, the Contact Person is automatically removed from the company record in the Estonian Commercial Register, and a new appointment must be made for the next period.

The appointed person must provide formal consent, which is given digitally either directly in the e-Business Register or by submitting a digitally signed consent to a Public Notary.

The Contact Person must first be linked to the company in the relevant register environment before the consent can be confirmed.

Question 8

How do get a post from the address?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

Service level varies by package.

Your mail is handled primarily via Omniva.ee, with DHL arranged on request, and every forwarded item receives a tracking code that we share with you by e-mail.

Package ONE – Each letter is opened, scanned or re-posted as agreed, and small parcels are forwarded to your chosen address.
Packages TWO & THREE – A fixed quota of letters and small parcels is included at no extra charge; once that limit is reached, additional items are forwarded at the current Omniva or DHL rate.

As soon as we receive a letter or parcel, we scan or ship it according to your instructions and send you the tracking code. Before we ship anything, we confirm the exact postage cost with you.

Question 9

Can I upgrade or switch between packages (ONE, TWO and THREE)?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

Question 11

What about establishing a foundation?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

The foundation cannot be established fully remotely.

The establishment documents must be notarised in Estonia (on-site), or you can grant us a Power of Attorney so we can complete the notarial procedure on your behalf.

Even if you are not able to travel, we can still assist you with the required Estonian legal address and, if needed, an authorised contact person service.

Question 12

Is the number of NPA establishers regulated?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

Yes.

Under the Estonian Non-profit Associations Act, a non-profit association (NPO) must be established by at least two founders. Founders may be natural or legal persons.

There is no fixed limit on the number of board members — the structure can be tailored to your organisation’s needs.

If you need support in arranging a second founder, we can assist you with a suitable solution.

Question 13

In what form are the documents of incorporation handed over?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

If a company or nonprofit association is established remotely, no documents will be received on paper immediately.

Each founder can download and print copies of the commercial register free of charge. In the exceptional case that the incorporation takes place with a Public Notary, the verified documents on paper may also be received. If there is a need to use these papers abroad, they must be legalized through an apostille: https://virtualofficeinestonia.com/product/apostilled-documents/

Question 14

Can nonprofit associations conduct a business activity?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

Basically, yes.

If the activity is related to the goals of the association. However, it should not be the only source of income. The main part, or at least some of it, must still usually come from subsidies and membership fees.

Question 15

When is a Contact Person required?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

It is wise to have.

If at least half of the members of the company’s management board do not reside in Estonia, another EEA Member State, or Switzerland, the company must appoint a local Contact Person in Estonia. This requirement is especially relevant when the company’s registered address is outside Estonia.

The Contact Person is officially registered in the Estonian Commercial Register. The appointed Contact Person must confirm their consent either directly in the e-Business Register or by submitting a digitally signed consent to a Public Notary.

The Contact Person service is provided for one year, and the status must be renewed and verified annually.

Question 16

What to consider before establishing a company in Estonia?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

Key legal, reporting, and compliance obligations.

Before registering an Estonian company, it is important to understand the main ongoing legal and reporting obligations. Every Estonian company must submit an Annual Report to the registration department of the county court (Commercial Register) within 6 months after the end of the financial year. In most cases, the financial year is the calendar year (1 January – 31 December). If the report is not filed on time, the register may impose fines on both the company and its management board members.

A company must always have a valid Estonian legal address, and its name, registry code, and location must be displayed in official business documents and on its website (if applicable). If the management board is located outside Estonia, the company may also need to appoint an authorised local contact person and provide the residence details of board members who are not registered in the Estonian Population Register.

You must also keep registry data up to date (e.g., address, board members, shareholders) and ensure that company documents are submitted correctly (digital originals or notarised copies, and translations when required). Finally, the board must monitor the company’s net assets (equity). If the company becomes insolvent, the board may be required to take immediate action. VAT registration is only required if the company exceeds the legal turnover threshold (or registers voluntarily).

Question 17

What ID cards can be used?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

Identification methods.

Question 18

Tax Benefits of an Estonian Company?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

Estonia’s tax framework is renowned for its simplicity and growth-friendly incentives.

Zero corporate tax on retained earnings
- Corporate income tax (20 % of the net amount, calculated as 20/80 on the distributed sum) is due only when you pay dividends or treat funds as non-business expenses. Profits that stay in the company can be reinvested tax-free for unlimited periods, accelerating growth and cash-flow planning.
Possibility of tax-exempt dividends in group structures
- Dividends received from an Estonian or foreign subsidiary may be distributed further without additional Estonian tax if participation conditions are met. Likewise, profits allocated to a foreign permanent establishment are generally exempt.
No additional personal income tax for Estonian residents
- If you are an Estonian tax resident, dividends you receive from your company are not subject to extra personal income tax, corporate tax settles the obligation. (Non-residents must follow the rules of their home country.)
Flat, transparent rates elsewhere in the system
- Payroll taxes, VAT, and other levies use uniform rates with straightforward reporting, reducing compliance overhead.

Remember: The company (a legal person) and you (a natural person) are separate taxpayers. Keeping finances distinct avoids misclassification and ensures you benefit fully from Estonia’s business-friendly regime without risking penalties or double taxation abroad.

Question 19

In what form are the documents of incorporation handed over?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

If a company or nonprofit association is established remotely, no documents will be received on paper immediately.

Each founder can download and print copies of the commercial register free of charge.

Question 21

Field of activity (EMTAK)?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

Is the national version of the internationally harmonized classification NACE Estonia.

We recommend that you select the business that you are likely to have the most sales in the first year of operation of the private limited company. It is not prohibited to operate in more than one activity unless it is subject to authorization or notification. The EMTAK code you select when you start a private company cannot be changed later. However, once the annual report is submitted, the company will be assigned a public EMTAK code based on its highest sales turnover.

Question 22

Choosing and Reserving an Estonian Company Name?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

Key rules, reservation periods, and trademark checks.

In Estonia your company name must be written in the Latin alphabet, avoid unusual symbols, be unique in the Commercial Register, and not duplicate or infringe any registered trademark. Because an Estonian company is also an EU company, it is wise to run an EU-wide trademark search to ensure the name is not already protected elsewhere in the single market.

A legal entity may reserve one business name for six months at a time, specifying both the intended legal form (e.g. OÜ, AS, MTÜ) and field of activity. Only one active reservation is permitted per entity, and the name can be used solely for the chosen form and activity. For valid reasons the reservation can be extended once for a further three months, provided the request is filed no later than five working days before the original reservation expires.

Question 23

Can I order a virtual office before forming my company?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

You can order a virtual office package in advance.

Will provide you with a genuine Estonian address for your company registration.

To register an Estonian company, you must have (i) a local legal address, and if any management board member resides outside Estonia/EEA/Switzerland, you will also need (ii) an authorised local contact person.

Package ONE provides the required Estonian address with mail-handling services.

Package TWO includes both the legal address and an authorised contact person, covering both statutory requirements in one bundle.

Question 24

What ID cards can be used?
