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

I could be wrong, but I think this was changed a few years ago. But it doesn't stop domain registrars from still charging the fee.

I had no issues registering with zone.ee without any sort of Estonian ID.

I had no issues registering with zone.ee without any sort of Estonian ID and no longer pay a management fee.
