Company Registration in Estonia Without e-Residency
An Estonian company can be registered without e-Residency. You sign a power of attorney on a video call with a notary, and we register the company for you at a notary in Tallinn. Nobody travels to Estonia, and nothing has to be arranged abroad.
It is one of the routes to company registration in Estonia, alongside registration with e-Residency and the Launch Package. An e-Residency application usually takes some months and can be refused; this route does not depend on one.
How it works
- Tell us about the company. Who the owners are and where they live. We reply with the price, the identity check and our forms.
- We prepare the documents. The power of attorney in English and Estonian, the articles of association and the founding documents.
- Sign by video. You sign the power of attorney on a video call with a notary and show your passport. The notary certifies a copy of the passport and issues the apostille in the same session, and the documents come back digitally. No translation and no courier.
- We register the company. We sign the founding documents for you at a notary in Tallinn and submit the application. No Estonian bank account is needed at this stage.
The sessions are in English. If you cannot sign in English or by video, you can sign the power of attorney at a notary in your own country instead and send us the original. That notary, any apostille and the courier are then paid by you. Signing in person in Tallinn can also be arranged.

Who this is for
Owners who need an Estonian OÜ and hold no e-Residency, cannot wait for it, or need a structure the online process does not support. That includes a company needed by a fixed date, an e-Residency application that was refused, and companies with several shareholders or a board member who is not a shareholder.
