Vienna

As an Estonian citizen residing in Austria, Slovakia, or Switzerland, you can apply for a new ID card and/or passport in three ways:

• at the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board (EPBGB) online self-service portal
• by post
• at the Estonian Embassy in Vienna

Please note that the state fee varies dependent on how the application is submitted and on the pick-up location. You will find the state fees here.
Your documents will be sent to the place of issue according to your application. You can choose the places of issue:  Embassy in Vienna, Honorary Consuls in Salzburg, Graz, Linz, Innsbruck, Bratislava, Zurich and Geneva.

On what occasions do I have to book an appointment and come to the Embassy to apply for documents?

• Your old passport is expired (you need to get your fingerprints taken at the Embassy)
• You wish that someone else picks up your passport / ID card on your behalf. A written consent (pdf) can only be given at the Embassy
