lisaviide

Lisaviide is a term used in Estonian administrative and legal contexts to denote an attachment or enclosure that accompanies a document. It is commonly translated into English as attachment, enclosure, or appendix. Lisaviide is typically used for supplementary materials that support or corroborate the main document, such as certificates, invoices, or proof of identity.

Etymology and meaning: The word combines lisa, meaning additional or supplementary, with viide, meaning reference or note. Together they denote material added to a document rather than cited within it. This distinguishes lisaviide from viide, which refers to references cited within the text.

Usage: Lisaviide appears on forms, applications, tenders, and other official submissions. Attachments are often numbered (Lisaviide 1, Lisaviide 2) and may specify accepted file formats, size limits, and submission methods. In electronic processes, lisaviide items are uploaded as separate files attached to the main document.

Typical contents: Depending on the context, lisaviide may include identification documents, legal certificates, financial statements, proof of address, contracts, or other evidence required to support the main filing. The exact requirements are defined by the issuing authority and the purpose of the submission.
