Overview

Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Lithuania and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: Format: “LT” + 9-digit company code + 3-digit suffix (e.g. LT123456789011). Certificate FR0618 issued on VAT registration. Non-VAT entities use the company code only. Registration number: 9-digit numeric identifier. Assigned at registration; appears on all JAR extracts and official documents.

How documents combine

For each evidence area, this table shows whether the listed documents are alternatives (any one of) or a bundle (all required). The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below.

​
Documents to collect

The physical documents you’ll collect from your customer, with the evidence area each one proves. One document can prove multiple areas — for example, Brazil’s Cartão CNPJ covers both tax and business-registration proof, so it appears once with both areas listed.

Collection notes

  • Legal Registration: Order from registrucentras.lt; electronic certified extract (ESI) stays valid until next data change; €1.50–€2.93 per extract.
  • Constitutive Documents: Single document for UAB and AB. Notarized at formation; amendments must be re-registered in JAR.
  • Tax Registration: Issued by VMI on VAT registration. Non-VAT entities: request corporate tax registration confirmation from VMI EDS portal.
  • Operating Permit: Verslo liudijimas is a fixed-tax permit for specific small-scale activities; general commercial entities obtain a municipal permit or sector permit from the relevant authority. No single national general-trade licence.
  • Sector-Specific License: Lietuvos bankas is the integrated regulator. EMI/PI licences issued under PSD2 / e-Money Directive (as transposed); MiCA CASP authorisation required from 2026-01-01. FNTT supervises DNFBPs (real estate, accountants, notaries).
  • Ownership Records: JADIS (Juridinių asmenų narių informacinė sistema) holds current members and shareholders. Order via registrucentras.lt; access may require registration and demonstrated purpose for non-obliged entities.
  • Governance Records: Management body members are registered in JAR and publicly searchable. Changes must be filed within 5 business days.
  • Signing Authority: For routine account-opening: valdybos sprendimas suffices. For acts requiring delegation to a non-officer: notarized įgaliojimas required. Remote incorporation may use a notarized POA granted by the founder.
  • Address: Conduit universal policy: lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement, with utility/bank dated within 90 days. Same evidence satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks.
  • Good Standing: No standalone good-standing certificate is issued; a recently dated copy of the listed document evidences current standing. Lithuania is a subsumed-by-extract jurisdiction: a freshly ordered JAR Išrašas from Registrų centras serves as live-status evidence.

​
Person roles

When you submit a person on the application body, set their role to one of Conduit’s canonical BusinessPersonRole values. Use this table to map a local corporate-governance title onto the right canonical role.

Notes

  • No separate “Certificate of Incorporation” document. Lithuania does not issue a standalone incorporation certificate analogous to UK Companies House CoI. The primary formation evidence is the JAR Išrašas (register extract) plus the Įstatai (articles). Order both for a complete KYB file.
  • VMI tax registration ≠ VAT registration. The VAT certificate (FR0618) is issued only upon VAT registration (mandatory threshold: €45,000 domestic revenue). Entities below the threshold will not have an FR0618; verify tax registration separately via VMI’s EDS portal.
  • Lithuania is a major EMI/PI hub. As of end-2024, ~119 licensed EMIs and PIs are supervised by Lietuvos bankas. Cross-border fintechs onboarding Lithuanian-licensed counterparties should collect the Lietuvos bankas licence alongside the standard KYB bundle; verify licence status at lb.lt/en/fs-electronic-money-institutions.
  • AMLR transition pending. EU AMLR (Regulation (EU) 2024/1624) applies directly from 2027-07-10; AMLD6 (Directive (EU) 2024/1640) transposition deadline is 2027-07-10. Until then, existing Law VIII-275 and JANGIS access rules govern. Monitor for amendments in 2026–2027.
