Can I start an Estonian company with Latvian ID card?
Since 01.01.2016, it was possible to log in and digitally register a new Estonian company in the E-Business Register with Latvian ID card.
Starting 01.07.2022, it is no longer possible.
However, Latvian ID card, Smart ID, or Mobile ID owner can relatively easily (without notary certification) file almost all registry amendments for their Estonian company. For example:
To become a board member of the company
To sign digitally shareholders’ decisions, which are accepted by the Business Register
To file registry amendments (change of a board membership, shareholders, address, company name, share capital, articles of association, etc.)
To file ownership changes
Most of these amendments can be done with digitally signed documents within 1 - 2 weeks.
