    Yes, we do. We can arrange for a copy of the document and the authenticity of the translator’s signature notarised.

  1. What documents can be notarised?
    Any documents containing the original signature, seal/stamp and date. A notary public will not certify any information letters, emails or online information missing the attributes of an original document.
    Foreign documents must be certified with an Apostille in the country of issue. Otherwise such document will not be valid in Lithuania.
    An Apostille is a consular certificate which officially certifies the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted and, where appropriate, the identity of the seal or stamp which it bears. Apostille is the approval of certification or legalisation. For example, in Lithuania the certification by the notary public (their seal and signature on a document) is additionally certified (has an Apostille affixed) by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania. Documents with an Apostille are valid in all countries that have acceded to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents of 5 October 1961. In Lithuania, Apostilles are issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Consular Department) and its subordinate diplomatic missions and consular offices.
