e-Residency is a transnational digital identity available to anyone in the world interested in administering a location-independent business online. e-Residency enables to use secure and convenient digital services that facilitate credibility and trust online. Please be aware that e-Residency does not confer citizenship, tax residency, residence or right of entry to Estonia or to the European Union. It is not a visa or residence permit. The e-Resident digi-ID card is not a physical identification or a travel document, and does not display a photo. You’ll find laws and regulations concerning current application here: Identity Documents Act, State Fees Act.

  • if you choose an office in Estonia as the pick-up location there is no additional fee
  • if you choose a foreign representation of Estonia as the pick-up location you will have to pay an additional fee of 20 euros upon applying
  • if you choose Seoul, South Korea; Tokyo, Japan or San Francisco, USA as the pick-up location an additional service fee applies which is to be paid directly to the service provider upon collecting your document (more detailed information about the applicable fee of each location is displayed upon selecting a specific pick-up location)
