What is an Estonian ID-card, Digi-ID, or Mobile-ID?

Secure tools for digital identification, signatures, and access to e-services.

Estoniaโ€™s digital society is built on secure, convenient, and legally binding e-identity tools: the ID-card, Digi-ID, ja Mobile-ID. These allow you to log into e-services, sign documents digitally, and manage your business or personal affairs fully online.

ID-card & Digi-ID

The ID-card and Digi-ID are physical smart cards used to:

  • Access Estonian e-services (e.g. Business Register, Tax Board, banks)

  • Digitally sign documents with legal validity

  • Authenticate identity securely online

  • Encrypt files and communications

To use them, you’ll need:

  • A card reader

  • ID-card software, downloadable at installer.id.ee

  • PIN codes, issued with the card (replacements available at Estonian service points or embassies)

  • Valid certificates, which you can check and renew at id.ee

  • A computer with internet access

Mobile-ID โ€“ Digital ID on Your Phone

Mobile-ID offers the same functionality as the ID-card, but without the need for a card reader. Instead, it works directly from your mobile phone.

How it works:

  • Requires a special Mobile-ID SIM card, issued by Estonian mobile operators

  • Stores private keys and signature functionality directly on the SIM

  • Actions are confirmed using PIN1 (authentication) and PIN2 (signing)

  • Perfect for users who prefer secure identification on the go

e-Residency Digital ID

If you are an Estonian e-resident, your e-Residency card allows you to access all of the above features (except Mobile-ID). You can:

  • Manage your company

  • Sign documents digitally

  • Use secure government and private e-services
    Note: E-Residency does not grant legal residence, tax residence, or the right to enter Estonia or the EU.

Is Smart-ID also suitable for foreigners?

Smart-ID personal identification can be used today in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Anno 2023.

If you are an alien living in Estonia the options are:

  • Residents of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (incl. people staying here on the basis of a permanent residence permit) have a residence permit card. It allows you to create a Smart-ID account exactly as you would with an ID card: just follow the on-screen instructions. Your personal identification code is written on the residence card.
  • If you are a non-resident, ie a person who does not have a local personal identification code, it is not possible to create a Smart-ID account in Estonia and Latvia. However, it is possible to register a Smart-ID Basic account with limited rights in Lithuania by visiting the bank branch of Medicines Bankas, don’t forget to bring your identity documents!
