If asked, please provide them the relevant documents, including a utility bill of where you operate from with all the relevant details regarding the address, etc. of the exact address you operate from (this address should also be reflected on the business registry document you receive from e-Residency Hub since the registered business address would be the virtual office address in Estonia but the operating address would be the address you supplied of where you operate from). In some cases for example, this could even be your residential electricity bill if you do not have a separate physical office
