How to update your Estonian company details
If your company’s legal address, board member data, shareholders, beneficial owners, articles of association, or contact details have changed, the update usually needs to be filed in the Estonian e-Business Register without delay. This guide explains what can be changed online, when documents or signatures may be required, and where Address in Estonia by Dalanta can help with the address and contact person part of the process.
Do you need to update company details in Estonia?
Yes, if key registered data has changed, the company should update the relevant information in the e-Business Register. Common changes include the legal address, board members, shareholders, articles of association, and beneficial owner data. Some updates are straightforward, while others can require supporting documents, digital signatures, a state fee, or notarial involvement depending on what is being changed.
- Use the e-Business Register for most standard company data changes.
- Check whether your change affects signatures, supporting documents, or state fees.
- If your address or contact person setup changes, make sure the register still reflects a compliant contact path.
- Use a licensed provider if you need a legal address and contact person service in Estonia.
What company details can be updated in the Estonian register?
The e-Business Register supports a broad range of legal-person data changes. In practice, founders most often update their address, contact details, board data, ownership-related details, and beneficial owner information.
Legal address
If your registered office or legal address changes, the register should reflect the new data. If the change affects the municipality or your service-provider setup, additional documents may be needed.
Contact details and contact person
You may need to update e-mail, contact details, and in some cases the company’s contact person arrangement. A licensed contact person is relevant where Estonian law requires one for your setup.
Management board data
Board member appointments, removals, and related register data changes are filed through the portal and usually require supporting resolutions.
Shareholder-related changes
Changes involving shareholders or share transfers can be more formal than address changes and may require notarial handling depending on the transaction.
Articles of association
If the underlying company rules need to change, the updated articles and the related decision documents usually need to be attached.
Beneficial owners
Beneficial owner information must remain accurate and up to date. The update path is separate from many standard registry-entry changes.
When should you update company details?
As a practical rule, register data should be updated once the underlying legal or factual situation has changed and the required supporting documents are ready. Waiting too long can create problems with official communications, annual-report follow-up, banking checks, KYC reviews, and general compliance housekeeping.
For e-residents and remote founders, this matters even more because the public register is often one of the first records banks, payment providers, partners, and authorities compare against your company documents.
Why delay creates risk
- Official notices may continue going to outdated contact data.
- Register and KYC checks may show mismatches.
- Applications can be delayed if the supporting setup is incomplete.
- Repeated failures around mandatory contact requirements can lead to more serious registry consequences.
What you need before you start
- Access to the e-Business Register with an accepted authentication method.
- The exact new company data you want to register.
- Supporting resolutions, minutes, or updated articles if required for the change.
- Address or contact person service documentation where relevant.
- Confirmation on who must sign under your representation rules.
- Clarity on whether the change triggers a state fee.
- Clarity on whether a notary or remote authentication is needed for the transaction.
- A working company e-mail address that can receive registry messages.
If the practical blocker is the legal address, contact person agreement, or related support documents, Address in Estonia by Dalanta can help with that part of the process.
Which changes may need fees, signatures, or extra documents?
| Change type | Typical filing path | Possible documents | Possible fee / formality | Practical note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legal address | e-Business Register | Service agreement, sometimes updated articles or decision documents | Depends on what exactly changes | Same-municipality changes can be simpler than municipality changes. |
| Contact details or contact person data | e-Business Register | Provider confirmation or consent where applicable | Depends on the exact change | Make sure the company still has a valid official delivery path. |
| Board member changes | e-Business Register | Shareholder decision, minutes, related consents | Often a state fee applies | Signature requirements depend on the filing and representation setup. |
| Shareholder or share-transfer changes | Register and, in some cases, notarial route | Transaction documents, corporate decisions, updated articles if needed | Can involve notarial formalities | This is one of the areas where broad online-only claims become risky. |
| Articles of association | e-Business Register | Updated articles plus the underlying decision document | Often a state fee applies | Needed when the legal basis of the register data changes. |
| Beneficial owner data | Beneficial owner section in the portal | Ownership/control information | Official help says no signing or state fee for that update flow | This update path is distinct from many standard entry amendments. |
For orientation only. Exact requirements can differ by change type, your articles of association, representation rules, and whether the transaction itself requires notarial handling.
How to update company details step by step
Log in to the e-Business Register
Go to the e-Business Register and authenticate with an accepted method. Open your company from the dashboard or search for it if you have the right to make changes but it is not shown immediately.
Choose the correct change path
Open the change-data workflow that matches the issue. Standard registry changes, address updates, beneficial owner changes, and shareholder-related transactions do not always follow the same process.
Enter the new company data carefully
Replace outdated information with the exact new data. Use the same spelling and structure that appears in your supporting documents and service agreements.
Attach the supporting documents
If the change is based on a shareholder decision, board resolution, updated articles, provider consent, or service agreement, upload the required documents in the correct section. Remember that documents added to the register can be publicly accessible.
Collect the required signatures
Who must sign depends on the type of change and your company’s representation rules. For some filings, one authorized board member may be enough. For others, multiple parties may need to sign.
Pay any state fee that applies
The portal will show the applicable amount for the specific filing. Do not assume every change costs the same, because some changes are free while others have a state fee.
Track the application until it is completed
Registry processing time varies by filing type and workload. Official help content commonly indicates a review window in the low single-digit working-day range for many standard changes, but more complex matters can take longer or require corrections.
Address and contact person rules
When the legal address matters most
Your legal address is the official address used for public registry data and official communications. If it changes, the register should be updated so notices and procedural documents reach the right place.
If the change is outside the current municipality, the official help pages indicate that the updated articles of association and the related decision on amending them may also need to be attached.
When a contact person becomes relevant
For remote founders, the contact person topic is often misunderstood. A contact person is tied to the company’s legal-address setup and the rules that apply to it, not just to the founder being foreign. If your company needs a contact person, the register data and supporting provider documents must line up correctly.
The safest approach is to use a licensed provider and keep the appointment term and address details current in the register.
Practical warning for switchers
If you are changing provider, do not cancel the old arrangement before the new legal address and contact person documentation are ready for filing. Gaps between the old and new setup can create avoidable compliance friction.

Frequently asked questions
Can I update all company details fully online?
Many standard company-data changes can be handled through the e-Business Register, but not every change is equally simple. Some ownership-related changes can require notarial handling or a more formal route, so do not assume every update follows the same online-only workflow.
Is there always a 25 euro state fee for company changes?
No. The applicable fee depends on the exact change. Official help materials show that some changes are free, while others do carry a state fee. The portal should display the relevant amount for the filing you are making.
Do all board members always need to sign the application?
Not always. Signature requirements depend on the filing type and your company’s representation rules. In some cases, one authorized board member may be enough. In others, multiple signatories are required.
When do I need a contact person in Estonia?
A contact person becomes relevant when your company’s legal-address arrangement falls under the rules requiring one. This is closely connected to how the company’s official address is set up and whether the company uses a licensed provider for that purpose.
How long does the register usually take to process a change?
For many standard changes, official help content commonly refers to a processing window of around 1 to 5 working days. More complex filings or applications with deficiencies can take longer.
Can Dalanta help if I am switching address or contact person provider?
