Apostille for extracts from Lithuania
Lithuania acceded to the The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents on 5 November 1996.
Therefore, the documents issued in Lithuania are subject to a simplified apostilling procedure, thus the documents gain full legal value in Convention member states after notarised translation.
Apostilling usually takes about two weeks.
In addition, you can order notarised translation from the Lithuanian language.
