A compulsory card with digital functions
The Estonian ID card is a compulsory identity document for Estonian citizens residing in Estonia, issued by the Police and Border Guard Board. It is valid for up to five years, carries the holder's fingerprints from age 12, and lets Estonian citizens travel within the EU and EEA. EU citizens living in Estonia can hold one too, but for them it is not a travel document. A new card design has been issued since 17 November 2025, so earlier designs remain in circulation.
Like other Estonian identity documents, the card is tied to the holder's eleven-digit personal identification code. We translate both sides of the card, keep the document number and code exactly, and reproduce the dates in an unambiguous format. If your code changed after a register correction, older and newer documents can show different codes, and we translate each as printed. See the Estonian passport page and the birth certificate page.
Digitally signed documents: .asice, .bdoc and .ddoc
The card's chip is used to sign documents digitally, and many Estonian papers you may need translated exist only as signed containers. Today's DigiDoc4 software creates ASiC-E files (.asice), which replaced the older .bdoc; the first-generation format was .ddoc. DigiDoc4 still opens all of them and shows who signed and when. Because older .ddoc and .bdoc files remain readable, a document signed years ago can still be checked today.
Send us the container or the PDF inside it. We translate the document and record the signer and signing time as the software displays them, so a US reader can see the document was signed. A US office may not be able to open the container itself, which is one more reason to submit a translation that describes it. See our Estonian page.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
My document is a .asice file, not a PDF.
That is the standard Estonian signed container. Send it and we translate the document inside and note the signatures.
Do you translate both sides of the ID card?
Yes, both sides, with numbers and dates copied exactly.
Is the ID card enough as proof of citizenship?
That is for the receiving office to decide. We translate it accurately either way.
