Kooskõlastuskiri

Kooskõlastuskiri is a formal document used in Estonia that confirms coordinated approval or objection from a competent authority regarding a proposal, plan, or document. It is typically issued by a public institution or government body, such as a municipal authority, planning department, environmental agency, or other regulatory office, and serves as evidence that the authority has reviewed the material and either consents to proceeding or specifies conditions.

The purpose of a kooskõlastuskiri is to facilitate administrative processes by clarifying which authorities acknowledge or object to the content of a project, plan, or procurement, and to outline any requirements that must be fulfilled before moving to the next stage. It helps to ensure inter‑agency communication and to prevent later conflicts in licensing, construction, or procurement procedures.

A kooskõlastuskiri generally includes the name and contact details of the authority, a description of the project or document under review, relevant references or file numbers, the scope of approval or objections, any conditions to be met, and the signature or seal of the issuing official. It may also specify deadlines or measures for compliance.

Typical contexts for use include construction and land‑use planning, building project documentation, environmental or cultural heritage reviews, and public procurement where alignment with regulatory requirements is necessary before a permit is issued or a contract awarded. It is not a permit in itself but a prerequisite or confirmation of coordination, and it may be revised if the project changes or new information arises.
