Hello! We will be in Helsinki next month and plan to ferry to Tallinn for the day. One of our traveling companions brought up the subject of passport control and I never thought of it. Does the process of checking passports take a lot of time? Just curious how much time it could take away from our day. Since it will be November I was thinking lines might not be bad…

Both Finland and Estonia are part of the Schengen Area so there generally isn’t passport control.
I would still carry your passport in case there are random checks.

Took the ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki earlier this summer. No passport check or identification check occurred. All I needed was my ferry ticket.

Ok thank you! My friend is from the UK and she was the one who was concerned. I will let her know!
