Aircraft owner with e-ID

Your 14.07.2017 Our 21.07.2017 No 1.14-4/17/48-2 Dear Mr. Konovalov Regarding your question about registering with an e-ID an aircraft in Estonian aircraft register the answer is as follows: According to Aviation Act § 18(1) point 1 a person can register aircraft to Estonian aircraft register only (but not least) when the owner or operator of the aircraft is an Estonian citizen, a person holding a long- term residence permit or the right of permanent residence in Estonia. E-ID is not equivalent to these conditions According to Aliens Act and therefore is not fulfilling the conditions to register an aircraft. In conclusion, you cannot register an aircraft in Estonian aircraft register when you have e-ID, but not a long-term residence permit or the right of permanent residence in Estonia. E-resident ID is issued to a person according to the Identity Documents Act which doesn’t regulate residence permits. E-resident ID is issued for the purpose of identifying persons who are not Estonian citizen or doesn’t hold a valid residence permit.
