You need to get an apostille added to the marriage certificate. The Department of Foriegn Affairs (DFA) at the Estonian embasy or consulate should do it for you but you normally have to pay a fee.
There are agents online that can arrange to have it done for you but they charge a lot for this so it costs less if you arrange it yourself with the consulate.

You will probably need to send a "certified copy" to the consulate. You take original to a solicitor who copies it and writes on it that it is a true copy of the original. Then you sent to consulate who stick a note of apostille on the back.

A photocopied copy is no good, they need the original. You might need to apply to the office that supplied the original document.

I am getting married in Hong Kong in 2 weeks and they asked for "a certified and Apostilled copy of divorce certificate". My solicitor charged £20 to certify a copy and DFA charged £30 to add an apostille.

It has to be done at the DFA of the country that issued the document.
