Fingerprints

All applicants aged 12+ must provide their fingerprints. All fingerprints are valid for 6 years and the validity of fingerprint images can be checked HERE. If the applicant has never provided fingerprints before or if the fingerprints are outdated, the applicant would need to come to the embassy to provide them. Renewing or collecting fingerprints is free of charge.

From 01.09.2023 Estonian citizens aged 70 and above do not need to renew their fingerprints for ID card. However, you would still need to renew them every 6 years when applying for passport.
