Remote authentication in Estonia allows notarial acts to be conducted via a video connection between the notary and the customer, equivalent to in-person authentication. It is optional and at the discretion of the notary. Transactions can occur at a suitable location, such as at home or in Estonian embassies in specific cities. To use remote authentication, contact a notary’s office or use the self-service portal with various ID methods. The process involves scheduling, confirmation, identity verification, document review, signing, and notary finalization. The fee for remote authentication is 24 euros, including VAT.
