From <www.mig.ee>:
"The existing Citizenship and Migration Board is a result of
several incorporations and reorganisations. The history of the
Board goes back to the year 1918 when on November 26 the
newly-born Republic of Estonia adopted two important acts: the
Regulation of the Land Council on the Citizenship of the Estonian
Democratic Republic and the Regulation of the Provisional
Government on Travel Passports, Entering Visas in Passports and
the Issue of Travel Licences. The first document can be
considered as the first citizenship act and the second as a
predecessor of the Aliens Act. That is why the Citizenship and
Migration Board celebrates its anniversary on November 26. The
Board has its own symbols - a flag, coat of arms and logo".
