E-Resident's digital ID

Pick-up

Applicants can collect their e-resident’s digital IDs at the Estonian Police and Border Guard board service office, at an Estonian embassy or at any mobile pickup point, which periodically organized by both the PBGB and the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

All pick-up locations along with contact details.

The term of processing an application for an e-resident’s digital ID is 30 days, plus delivery, which is 2–5 weeks, depending on the selected pick-up location, unless you have selected a mobile pickup point. You can track the processing status of your application in the self service environment by logging in and selecting “Track status”.

Once your digital ID has reached the pick-up location, you will be contacted. If you have not been contacted within 2 months from the submission of the application, please contact your selected pick-up location.

You need to collect your e-resident’s digital ID in person at the pick-up location. Digital IDs are not issued to representatives. When collecting your e-resident’s digital ID, you need to submit a valid travel document issued by a foreign state. E-residents are also fingerprinted at the pick-up location.
