Required for access to public services.

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.

What you need to register:

• 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.

Registering your address is a legal requirement and essential for accessing public services in Estonia.
