existencetõend

Existencetõend is an Estonian term that translates to "proof of existence" or "certificate of existence." It is a document issued by the Estonian Commercial Register, which is part of the Estonian Courts and Enforcement Agencies. This certificate serves as official confirmation that a particular legal entity, such as a company or a non-profit organization, is registered and legally operating in Estonia.

The purpose of an existencetõend is to provide verifiable evidence of a company's legal status to third parties. This can be crucial for various business transactions, including opening bank accounts, entering into contracts, participating in tenders, or dealing with government authorities. It assures that the entity has been duly incorporated according to Estonian law and has not been dissolved or liquidated.

To obtain an existencetõend, one typically needs to submit an application to the Estonian Commercial Register. The register then verifies the entity's details and, if all is in order, issues the certificate. The document usually contains key information about the registered entity, such as its name, registration number, and date of registration. The existencetõend is a fundamental document for establishing trust and facilitating legal and commercial activities involving Estonian entities.
