Restoring a Deleted Estonian Company
You can restore your deleted company during 3 years after the deletion
Fully digital service for most EU residents
Restoring a deleted company can be done fully digitally for e-residents and Estonian ID card owners who can log in to the Estonian Business Register.
Today, most EU residents can also sign documents digitally and apply to restore their company relatively easily, without any physical paperwork. The process is slightly different in this case, but there is no need for notary-certified and apostilled documents.
