Juhkentali 8, Tallinn 10132 Tornimäe 7, Tallinn 10145 An apostille is an internationally recognised certificate—attached to a public document—that confirms the authenticity of the signer, seal, and capacity in which the document was issued. It allows the document to be accepted in any other state that has joined the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention (you can check the current list of member countries on the convention’s website). In Estonia, only public notaries may issue a public document. Because the same notary cannot both notarise a document and apostille it, the process normally involves two separate notaries: Notary A notarises or authenticates the original document. Notary B adds the apostille that certifies Notary A’s authority and signature. After notarisation and apostilling, the document is usually translated by a sworn translator into the language required by the receiving country. Courier or postal delivery costs are extra and depend on the shipping method you select.
The background check we offer has nothing to do with applying for e-Residency. What e-Residency is — and isn’t A government-issued digital ID that lets you sign, authenticate and run an EU company online. Not a form of citizenship, tax residency, visa, residence permit, or travel document. Our background-check service is designed for corporate due-diligence on Estonian natural or legal persons; it neither replaces nor influences the PBGB’s screening for e-Residency applications. For official details on e-Residency requirements and fees, see the PBGB website. Once your order and payment are confirmed we e-mail you a short intake form asking for the target’s key identifiers—typically a full name, Estonian personal ID-code (isikukood) or company registration number. After we receive this information our compliance team: Searches official Estonian sources – Commercial Register, Beneficial Ownership Register, Land Register, tax and court databases, sanctions lists and press archives. Verifies and consolidates the findings – matching records across databases, flagging inconsistencies and potential risks. Drafts a concise report – summarising ownership, management, legal disputes, insolvency history, licences, sanctions, PEP status and any adverse media. The finished report is delivered as a secure PDF to your chosen e-mail address—usually within two to three business days—so you can make informed decisions based on reliable, up-to-date data. All searches are confidential and performed in accordance with Estonian data-protection law. For a private limited company, the absolute minimum is six months—but only if all statutory steps are completed on time. The clock starts when the dissolution is entered in the Commercial Register and the liquidation notice is published in the state gazette Ametlikud Teadaanded. At least four months must elapse after shareholders are notified of the final balance sheet and asset distribution plan. If all filings, creditor notices, and tax clearances are handled promptly, the process can be wrapped up in roughly half a year; any outstanding requirements will extend the timeline. However, in certain cases, we can offer a fast solution within a few business days: we purchase the shares and take over management of the company, after which we proceed with the dissolution in accordance with Estonian legal procedures. This option may be suitable for clients who need a faster exit or cannot manage the liquidation process themselves. We will first assess eligibility and confirm the applicable solution. Commonly referred to as EORI, it is a mandatory registration system for companies engaged in importing or exporting goods to or from non-EU countries within the EU. The EORI code is specific to the country where the company is established and is required for customs clearance procedures. For instance, if an Estonian company imports goods directly into Germany, it must still obtain an EORI number in Estonia, as the company is registered there. This ensures compliance with the EU’s customs regulations and facilitates the efficient movement of goods across borders. The validity or invalidity of an EORI number can be checked by visiting the “Confirmation of EORI Number“. In cases where the concerned person has authorized the disclosure of their information, it is possible to conduct a search for the name and address of the company or individual associated with that EORI number. One key advantage of our service is that we offer a physical, tangible SIM card, which is essential for many online platforms and service providers. Major platforms like Google, LinkedIn, and others often do not accept virtual or VoIP numbers for identity verification, two-factor authentication, or account recovery. In contrast, our SIM cards are issued by Telia, a reputable EU-based mobile operator, and are fully recognised by these systems. This means: You can reliably use the number for SMS verification and secure logins You avoid common issues with virtual or app-based numbers, which are often rejected or flagged You gain long-term stability and compatibility for business and personal use In short, we help you stay connected securely and reliably—without the limitations of virtual-only solutions.

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. If you plan to live and work in Estonia, you must register your local address in the Estonian Population Register. Without it, you won’t be eligible for public healthcare, social support, or many other government services. A residence notice (elukoha teade) — filled out in Estonian (see translated example if needed) Your ID or a copy (if applying by post) Proof of residence — e.g. a tenancy agreement or ownership document If the property has multiple owners, consent is required from all If you have an Estonian ID card, you can complete the process online via the eesti.ee portal. Lead-in: All offered payment gateway extensions can be used to process manual renewal payments. Customers can choose a different payment method for each renewal payment. It’s better to set up automatic payments. If there is a problem with logging in to the customer area, let us know and the payment link will be sent. After we receive the payment we will manually extend your subscription. Keeping your residence information up to date in the Population Register is a legal obligation. To register your residence in Estonia, you must submit a notice of residence to the city or rural municipality government of your place of residence. This ensures that your address is correctly recorded in the Estonian Population Register, as required by law. You can submit your notice of residence in the following ways: The notice of residence form (printable and digital versions) is available on the Ministry of the Interior’s website. If you have multiple permanent addresses, one must be designated as your main residence—the address with legal effect in the register. Other addresses may be submitted as additional residences, but the main one must always be accurate and up to date. Whenever you move within Estonia, relocate abroad, or return from abroad, you are legally obligated to update your residence address in the Population Register. Simplified operations. An IOSS number (Import One-Stop Shop) helps Estonian e-commerce businesses simplify VAT reporting when selling low-value goods to EU customers. Instead of managing VAT registrations and declarations across multiple countries, IOSS allows you to report and pay VAT through a single monthly return in a single EU Member State. This reduces administrative workload, improves customer delivery experience, and helps avoid VAT issues such as double taxation or unexpected import charges. It is especially relevant for online stores shipping goods from outside the EU to EU consumers.

Registering a trademark gives you exclusive rights to use the brand name or logo in your specific field—whether in Estonia, the EU, or both. No one else can legally use or register the same mark without your permission. A registered trademark is one of the most effective ways to protect your brand from unfair competition. It helps you prevent others from using your name or copying your identity for commercial gain. It’s also cheaper and easier to register your trademark than to prove ownership in court later. In fact, several EU countries—including Estonia, Germany, and Spain—already check the EUIPO trademark database before allowing company names to be registered. This means that if your company name is already registered as a trademark, others cannot use it unless you allow it.
