Estonian passport and ID-card

17.08.2011

Estonian passport and ID-card applicants have to come to the Embassy in person to submit the application, as the Embassy collects fingerprints for the documents.

In case of a child under 15 years old, an application for passport is submitted by his/her legal representative - a parent, guardian or authorized representative of guardianship authority, a child older than 15 years can apply for passport on his/her own.

It may take up to two months for the passport/ID-card to be issued!
