Suspending ID-card certificates

You should suspend the certificates of your ID-card as soon as you notice that you have lost it or it has been stolen: this way, your electronic identity remains protected.

If you’re certain that your ID-card has been stolen and cannot be retrieved, you should annul it.

  • If your ID-card is lost or stolen, you should immediately suspend or revoke the certificates associated with it: this will protect you against identity theft.

    You can suspend the certificates of ID-cards issued before 14.11.2025 and other digital documents via telephone:

    • by calling +372 677 3377.

    NB! You will be asked to provide your name and personal identification code.

    Certificates for ID-cards issued after 17.11.2025 cannot be suspended, only revoked. Certificates for ID-cards issued after 17.11.2025 can be revoked via the police self-service portal or at a service center.

    If you are certain that your ID-card is indeed stolen, you should notify the police and have your ID-card and related certificates declared invalid.

    But did you know that if your mobile phone is stolen, you should also suspend the certificates linked to your mobile smart device?
