Obtaining a criminal record certificate from Lithuania
1
If you need a criminal record certificate from Lithuania, I can help you obtain it through the Embassy of Lithuania in Ottawa remotely, without the need for an in-person visit. The process is completely secure, transparent, and turnkey.
This service is available only if you have a personal identification number (asmens kodas) issued by the Government of Lithuania. You can find this number in your Lithuanian passport, ID card, or temporary residence permit card.
Who can obtain the certificate
A criminal record certificate is issued to:
How to obtain the certificate through the embassy
To submit your application, please prepare the following package of documents:
1. A completed application form in Lithuanian. It is important to indicate your email address and phone number in the form.
2. A copy of your passport certified by a Canadian notary (True Copy).
3. A prepaid Canada Post Xpresspost envelope for the return of your certificate from the Embassy in Ottawa.
Payment is made via Interac e-Transfer. The embassy will contact you directly regarding payment details.
Processing times
The issuance of a consular certificate takes 5 to 10 business days. Please also allow additional time for mailing and delivery.
Additionally: translation into English or French
The embassy issues the certificate in English; however, please note that the embassy seal is in Lithuanian. This means that to be used in Canada, the certificate must be translated into English or French. I can arrange for the translation of the document immediately after it is received.
To select the correct certification type for the translation, I will need to know which Canadian institution you plan to submit the certificate to.

Obtaining a certificate through the embassy may seem simple — fill out the form and mail it.
However, many clients attempting to handle it on their own encounter common mistakes that lead to refusals and lost time:

What can go wrong when applying on your own
2
- The form is not completed in Lithuanian.Even if all data is correct, forms completed in English or Russian will not be accepted for processing.
- Missing or incorrect “asmens kodas”.Without this number, the certificate cannot be issued, and the embassy does not return documents with notes or explanations — only an official letter weeks later.
- No notarized passport copy (True Copy).A simple photocopy is not sufficient — the document must be certified by a notary. An incorrect wording of the certification (“True Copy of the Original”) may also result in rejection.
- Payment issues.The embassy does not accept cash or bank transfers — only Interac e-Transfer, and payment can only be made after the embassy contacts you. Many applicants get stuck at this stage and wait for weeks.
- Mailing errors.If you use the wrong type of envelope or fail to indicate a return address, the certificate may be lost in transit. The embassy bears no responsibility for lost mail.
- Problems with using the certificate later.Although the certificate is issued in English, the consular seal is in Lithuanian, and Canadian authorities often require a certified translation. Without it, the document may not be accepted.

You will need to complete and sign the application form that I send you.
Then, you will send me the original signed document using the printed shipping label I provide.
I will make a notarized copy (True Copy) of your passport through my notary.
I will prepare the required document package and send it to the Embassy of Lithuania in Ottawa.
The criminal record certificate from the embassy will be delivered to my address.
To use the certificate in Canada, it must be translated into English or French. I can provide a certified translation into either language.
