Maryland apostille for Lithuania
Lithuania accepts US documents that carry an apostille. For anything issued or notarized in Maryland, that apostille comes from the Secretary of State in Annapolis, and we can get it for you in a day.
What Lithuania requires
Lithuania has applied the Hague Apostille Convention since July 19, 1997, so its courts, ministries, universities and registries are used to receiving US documents with an apostille.
The official language of Lithuania is Lithuanian. If your document is in English, the office that receives it may ask for a certified translation. Translations are usually done after the apostille is attached, and some offices want the apostille translated too. Ask the receiving office what it requires.
The apostille confirms that the signature and seal on your document are genuine. It does not change what the document says, and the office in Lithuania decides whether the document itself meets its rules, for example how recently it was issued.
