The new place of issue of a document may be an Estonian foreign mission or honorary consul located in another consular district, or a foreign mission in another European Union country.

To change the place of issue of a document, you must:

1. submit a free-form application for changing the place of issue to the foreign mission where the document was requested to be received and to the Police and Border Guard Board (e-mail address [email protected])
2. pay the state fee

Payment of an additional state fee is not required if the document is to be received from an honorary consul of the same consular district (e.g. the application indicates the embassy in Helsinki as the place of issue, but the document is to be received from an Estonian honorary consul in Vaasa).
