An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Estonia that means Estonia’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Estonia, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Estonia issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Typical requests from Estonia concern e-residency companies, employment and residence. EU member and CIEC state: civil-status documents are exempt; corporate and notarial documents need the apostille, English is widely accepted.
Authority fee: 27,71 EUR (official fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)

Apostille in Estonia: questions
Estonia designates its competent authorities under Article 6 of the Convention; the notary reviews your application and we route the document to the right office.
In all Contracting States except Bangladesh: an Article 12 objection is in force between them, so documents for these states need consular legalisation instead. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) always need legalisation.
The authority’s fee listed with the HCCH: 27,71 EUR. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately from Notaryzer’s service fee in your written quote; nothing is charged before you accept.
The apostille itself is standardised and accepted without translation. The document is in Estonian or English; most recipients abroad want a sworn or certified translation into their language, which we add in the same order.
The Convention has been in force for Estonia since September 30, 2001.
