Lithuania: notarial and documentary services
How someone in Lithuania can get documents witnessed, certified, united or prepared, take an oath of British citizenship and obtain informative notes.
Overview
The British consulate can provide some notarial and documentary services for British nationals in Lithuania. Where local notaries can provide services, the British consulate will not provide them. In many cases local notaries or lawyers can provide services more cheaply, quickly and conveniently.
You must make an appointment for each service that requires your personal attendance. Use the links after each service to make a reservation. A member of staff will contact you to confirm your appointment.
Before booking, make sure you have selected the correct service and that the document will be accepted by the relevant authority. This could be the local town hall, registry office, tax authorities, immigration office or another authority either in Lithuania, the UK or a third country.
