Update

The Estonian Post, would like to inform other Union member countries and their designated operators that the Estonian government declared a nationwide lockdown on 11 March 2021.

While the lockdown is in place, postal services will continue to operate as usual, under certain restrictions. Items normally requiring the addressee's signature upon delivery will be handed over without signature.

As of 15 March, inbound items will be delivered as follows:

  • Registered letters under 2 cm in thickness will be delivered without signature to the recipient's mailbox. Signature will be given by the postal worker at the time of delivery.
  • Registered letters over 2 cm in thickness that cannot be delivered to the mailbox will be delivered to the addressee without their signature. Signature will be given by the postal worker.

All items that cannot be delivered to a postal box or at the recipient's address will be transferred to pick-up points.

The Estonian Post wishes to thank all Union member countries and their designated operators for their understanding.
