[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”padding”]The e-Notary system is an environment that helps notaries in their everyday work and allows electronic communication between notaries and the state. The setting is established with notaries in mind, and it will enable them to do everything they need in their work; the system also allows making queries to 16 different registries. E-residents can use their Digi-IDs to perform an array of business services for their companies online from anywhere in the world. However, up until now, there were still some activities, which required e-residents to travel to Estonia and utilise the services of a notary registered there.
The e-Notary system could be used both by residents and e-Residency holders.
The e-Notary makes it possible to conveniently:
Keep a daily schedule of notarising activities and a personal calendar for users
Make reliable queries to state registries
Prepare agreements and digitally sign them
Register official activities (official acts and services)
Record deposits
Issue apostilles
Prepare invoices and state fee payment orders
Forward records to state registries
Purposes:
To be the means which allows making necessary actions in the notary’s office
To create a registry of notarised acts in a unified, high-security environment
To minimise duplicated entry of data, paperwork and printing for both notaries and registrars
To contribute to the development and enhancement of other systems
To make it simple for clients to deal with notaries – unlike before, the client doesn’t have to present a large number of paper documents to the notary anymore
Via the e-Notary system, the notaries themselves can also review the necessary data
How to use:
Log into the e-notary self-service portal at www.notar.ee using an ID card or an e-Residency digital-ID.
In the self-service portal, navigate to the verification page and choose a notary from the list of registered Estonian notaries, and select your desired time for an appointment.
Next, it is required to log in with Digi-ID and confirm that you are ready for the digital verification. It also notifies the notary in Estonia to initiate the verification process using the Veriff biometric facial recognition system.
Follow the instructions of Veriff.
Once you have been successfully identified, the notary will initiate a remote transaction by video link.
The notary will introduce the agreement and share it for review with all the parties.
Once approved, the notary will make it available for signing in the self-service portal.
Once all parties have digitally signed the contract, the notary closes the remote transaction and adds the notarial document to the portal.
You can access the transaction and any related invoice at any time afterwards.

Legal opinion
Legal opinion is a written document that includes a detailed legal opinion on a particular issue or aspect of the customer’s activities. It is drawn up solely in the interests of a businessman to reduce the risk of violation of the law during the implementation of the transaction/launch of the project and to understand the upcoming stages fully.
The legal opinion allows you to get an independent view of a lawyer/attorney on a non-standard issue and determine whether the planned legally significant actions are appropriate and legal in the particular jurisdiction under consideration.
Simply put, legal opinion allows you to clearly define your legal rights and help you avoid costly litigation in the future. In that way, if you have any hesitations and feel that legal opinion is something you need — consider finding a service provider.
Legal audit
One more way to secure your business is by drawing an audit. It allows you to protect your business in time — to detect, minimise or completely neutralise potential risks that financial, reputational, competitive and other losses may entail.
In addition to the legal audit at the customer’s request, the company’s activity’s most problematic or significant directions can be investigated.
Expert opinion is something you may need to secure your business at its start and during the development.

Estonia is the most favourable jurisdiction for starting a business. Considering the opportunities Estonia provides for entrepreneurs, establishing a company is fast, convenient and affordable. However, company formation is still a legal procedure and involves several legal and business aspects that follow a company establishment and further company management.
We are well aware that not every entrepreneur is willing to deal with legal aspects on his own for several reasons. First of all, time is a valuable asset nowadays, and in the case of business people, it is reasonable to share the legal responsibility with service providers and, in the meantime, focus on other matters regarding business development. Secondly, by requesting professional assistance from a trusted provider, you ensure your business with a smooth start and avoid further potential unpleasantness.
Moreover, receiving competent support for your business provides a company with legal reliability and thereby contributes to trustworthiness which is, in fact, crucial for every beginning business. Without a doubt, it is important to take care of a company’s reputation since its very establishment; an accurate start complying with Estonian legislation improves the chances of your company for subsequent literate management of a company.
In that way, LKS Consult OÜ considers it essential to offer qualified assistance with different legal aspects — legal opinion, legal advice, document drafting and other services that can simplify the activities of your company.
We believe that legal support for your business is the key to the effective functioning of your company.
