#4> As a result, Estonia has eliminated virtually all physical paper documents from government processes. Today, the only reasons a citizen needs to show up in person are to get married, divorced or exchange property. Everything else can be done online.
This seems a bit difficult to believe.
For example, getting a passport, naturalizing as a citizen, or renouncing citizenship, etc., doesn't require anyone to show up?

If your fingerprints are not too old (i think it was 12 years but others can correct me) you can take picture for the document at home and only show up when the document is ready for pick up.

How are oaths of citizenship handled, if Estonia has one?
