Personal Details Updates

Every Estonian national has the obligation to update his/her address data in the Estonian Population Register. In order to do so, please fill out the application form and send it digitally signed or scanned by email or by post to our Embassy. It is also possible to update your address online in case you have a valid ID-card, pin-codes and ID-card reader.

You are not obligated to change your address only in case you are staying in Norway or Iceland temporarily for the purpose of study.

Did you give birth, got married, divorced or changed your name in Norway or Iceland?

If you gave birth, got married, divorced or changed your name in Norway or Iceland, you need to provide our Embassy with this information. An original document (e.g. birth certificate) should be sent to our Embassy together with a copy of your passport or ID-card (and a copy of your spouse’s passport in case of marriage). The document needs to bear an apostille. The original document will be returned to you within a couple of weeks after your data in the Estonian Population Register has been updated.

Marriage in Norway or Iceland

In order to get married in Norway or Iceland please check with the authority where you are planning to get married (register office, church) which documents are required. You might be asked to prove that there are no obstacles by Estonian law for you to get married. The document is called a Certificate of No Impediment. Estonian citizens who have registered their place of residency to Norway or Iceland can apply for the certificate from the Embassy by post. Please fill out the following application form (PDF) and send it to us together with a copy of your and your future spouse’s passport or ID-card and copy state fee transaction statement. According to the Estonian regulations the certificate will expire if the marriage is not contracted within six months after the certificate has been issued. After getting married in Norway or Iceland you need to send your original marriage certificate (including an apostille) together with your and your spouse’s passport copy to our Embassy, so that we can update your marital status in the Estonian Population Register.

Change of Name

You can apply for a new passport/ID-card with your new surname by submitting your marriage certificate and/or name change certificate. Certificates need to bear an apostille.

An Estonian citizen can also apply for a change of name in Estonia at the Vital Statistics Office in Tallinn.

Family Records Certificates

A Family Records Certificate (about a birth, death, marriage, divorce or change of name) can be issued to the person him/herself or to one’s guardian. Estonian citizens who have registered their place of residency to Norway or Iceland can apply for the required certificate from the Embassy. In order to do so please fill out the following application form (PDF) and submit it to us together with a copy of your passport or ID-card and a copy of state fee (20 EUR) transaction statement.
