Estonia is a small country located in Northern Europe, bordered by the Baltic Sea, Russia, and Latvia.

Despite its size, Estonia has a thriving economy and is home to many international businesses.
AIf you need to use a US document in Estonia, such as a birth certificate, marriage certificate, or diploma, you will need to have it apostilled. An apostille is a certificate that verifies the authenticity of a document and is recognized by all members of the Hague Convention.
Step 1: Determine the Type of Document You Need to Apostille
Before you can begin the apostille process, you need to determine the type of document you need to apostille. Generally, any document that needs to be used for legal or official purposes in Estonia will need to be apostilled. This includes documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, diplomas, and transcripts.
Step 2: Obtain a Certified Copy of Your Document
In order to apostille your document, you will need to obtain a certified copy of it. This means that you will need to obtain a copy of your original document that has been certified as a true and accurate copy by the issuing authority. For example, if you need to apostille your birth certificate, you will need to obtain a certified copy from the Vital Records Office in the state where you were born.
Step 3: Complete the Apostille Application Form
Once you have obtained a certified copy of your document, you will need to complete an apostille application form. This form can usually be obtained from the Secretary of State’s office in the state where your document was issued. The application form will require you to provide basic information about yourself and your document.
Step 4: Pay the Apostille Fee
In order to have your document apostilled, you will need to pay a fee. The fee varies depending on the state where your document was issued. You can usually find information about the fee on the Secretary of State’s website.
Step 5: Submit Your Application and Document for Apostille
Once you have completed the application form and paid the fee, you will need to submit your application and document to the Secretary of State’s office in the state where your document was issued. You can usually submit your application and document in person or by mail.
Step 6: Wait for Your Document to be Apostilled
Once your application and document have been received by the Secretary of State’s office, they will be processed and your document will be apostilled. The processing time varies depending on the state where your document was issued, but it usually takes between 1-2 weeks.
If you need to use a US document in Estonia, you will need to have it apostilled. The process can be complicated and time-consuming, but it is necessary to ensure that your document is recognized as authentic in Estonia.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
