Passport renewal application for a child over the age of 12 and for an adult can be submitted in the following ways:

• via the self-service portal;
• by post (by sending the application directly to Tallinn, Estonia);
• at the embassy.

APPLYING VIA THE SELF-SERVICE PORTAL

If it has been less than 6 years since the last passport application and the person has not since reached the age of 12, one can easily renew the documents via the self-service portal (requires a valid ID-card and PIN-codes).

If the child is now over the age of 12 and has not given their fingerprints previously, an application can only be submitted at the embassy (please see below for instructions). The child will need to be present in order to provide fingerprint images.

APPLYING BY POST

One would need to have valid fingerprint images in the PBGB information system in order to apply for documents by post (valid fingerprint images are required from the age of 12). The validity of fingerprint images can be checked HERE.

In order to apply by post, one would need to prepare and complete the following:

• Print out the standard application form (in English, in Estonian, in Russian)  and fill in the form in capital letters, using a dark ballpoint pen or ink pen.
• A DIGITAL photo (physical/printed photos are not accepted). An applicants digital photo should be sent by email to [email protected], with the applicants name and the personal ID code/date of birth (photo requirements; video instructions).
• Pay the state fee to the Ministry of Finance (the state fees when applied by post can be found HERE).
