General information about e-Residency is available at e-Residency Portal 

 

Association with an existing legal person

If your data on the registry card of the legal person  has foreign personal code or a birth date, but you have logged into the portal using your e-Residency card, you will not see the company listed in “My dashboard”.

To see the related company on the “My dashboard” page you should start an entry of the amendment to change your birth date/foreign personal code through e-Business Portal.

 

To do this: After logging in with your e-Residency card (or Smart-ID), go to the front page and select „My dashboard“.

From the left menu click on "Additional actions" and then click on the "Refresh connections" button.


After clicking on "Refresh connections", the system will search for persons in the register that do not have estonian ID code and whose firs and last name are the same as the e-resident who has logged in.
