Foreign Documents Validity
Documents issued in any foreign country will not be accepted in Lithuania unless they are legalized or approved by Apostille. It can be done by competent authorities that have issued your documents.
Apostille approves documents which are issued by countries parties to the 1961 Hague Convention abolishing the requirement of legalization for foreign public documents. The authenticity of the document is confirmed with Apostille by country that has originated a document.
Countries that are not parties to the 1961 Hague Convention abolishing the requirement of legalization for foreign public documents must legalize documents through competent authority of the issuing state. Most often it is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the diplomatic mission, consular post.
Documents issued and legalized in a foreign country must be re-legalized in Lithuania: at the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Lithuanian diplomatic missions, consular posts.
