Hello everyone.

For reasons irrelevant to this post I Want to get a domain for my selfhosting server from esthonia as im a foreigner i stoubled uppon some issues /questions.
I’m reading that this is allowed, but I want tips for the proses or suggestions for regisars.

Also I want to clarify one pcs of information that I was shocked to see.

Estonia (as per my research) mandates that each and every domain under its tld is linked to its owner ID number, but I doubt it that my foreign ID will be accepted…
I found some registars that they are able to tie themselves as the management entity (thus I don’t need to provide a ID) but this not only seems sketchy, but it comes with a 25-30€ /month! fee over the domain…

Thanks for anyone who takes the time to reply

    what about zone.eu ? and they paypal singing thingy ?

    ATTENTION: Application for .EE domain needs to be digitally signed. If you are unable to sign the application using ID-card, Mobile-ID or SMART-ID then you can authorize your order using PayPal Verified account. NB! Please make sure that your PayPal account name matches with the registrant's or it's administrative contact's name in the application.

    the " e-Residency program" that u/borouhin mentioned realy seems too complecated just to get a domain to “play around”

    https://www.netim.com/en/domain-name/ee-domain

    See the conditions for registering. If you don’t have a ID card from Estonia, Belgium, Lithuania or Finland to sign the application form electronically you can handwrite the form and send it to Netim (the wording seems to suggest that a PDF format pic of the form would do).

    Alternatively you can purchase local representation from Netim for an additional €12/year and they’ll intermediate for you.
