Kaip galite patikrinti Lietuvos įmonę
Step 1:
Verification of information that is freely available in the database Rekvizitai.lt. Such a verification will help to get a sufficiently capacious idea of the counterparty company.
What is it Rekvizitai.lt : this is a directory of Lithuanian enterprises, which contains data on legal entities of all legal forms (sole proprietors, LLC, JSC, state institutions, communities, and cooperatives). Rekvizitai.lt is a commercial business information platform that aggregates data from Lithuanian public registers and other sources. Although it provides useful information for preliminary due diligence, it is not an official state register. Information may be incomplete, delayed or subject to access restrictions. Important corporate details should therefore be verified directly through the Lithuanian Centre of Registers and other competent public authorities.
How to get there: Lithuanian version, Russian version. It is important to note that the Russian version of the database contains less information than the Lithuanian version. To search for a specific company, you just need to enter the name or company code in the search box.
What can be verified:
- Current details and contacts: name, company code, VAT code, social insurer code, full name of the head, legal address and the actual location address, phone and email address.
- Historical information about the company: date of registration, information about the change of legal status, scope of activity;
- Company turnover (including turnover history since 2015);
- Information about both the employer and the debt to the Social Insurance Fund (Sodra): number of employees, average salary, amount of social insurance taxes paid; current debt to Sodra, history of debts;
- Lawsuits: company’s participation in court proceedings as a plaintiff and defendant. You can also immediately follow the links to specific court decisions;
- Vehicles registered to the company;
- Participation in public procurement.
- If desired, you can order a more detailed professional report (this is a paid service).
Step 2:
Verification of the information in the Register of Legal Entities (JAR) for a more detailed study of the company. This is recommended if we are talking about concluding a large transaction, when it is especially important to take into account all possible risks and have the fullest possible understanding of the counterparty.
What is JAR: The State Register of Legal Entities to which companies provide information on the basis of legal acts and obligations stipulated by the state.
What can be verified:
- The address of the legal entity, information about its legal status (operating company, reorganization, bankruptcy, liquidation) and a list of documents of legal entities (charter, powers of attorney, decisions of members of the Management board, financial statements, etc.). The information is publicly available for up to 100 free searches per day. To search for a specific company, you just need to enter the name or company code in the search box.
- Obtain an official extract from the Lithuanian Register of Legal Entities (JAR) containing registered corporate information, including the company’s legal status, authorised capital where applicable, management bodies and other registered details. Information about shareholders and other participants may require separate access to the Information System of Participants of Legal Entities (JADIS), while beneficial ownership information is maintained in JANGIS. Historical records and additional corporate documents may be obtained separately, subject to applicable access restrictions. Fees depend on the type of extract or document requested and the current tariffs of the Centre of Registers.
- Obtain copies of annual financial statements submitted to the Lithuanian Register of Legal Entities, where available. These documents may include the balance sheet, profit and loss statement, explanatory notes and other financial reporting documents required for the relevant company. Access conditions and fees depend on the documents requested and the applicable tariffs of the Centre of Registers. The absence of submitted financial statements should be investigated as a potential compliance risk rather than interpreted as evidence that the company had no financial activity.
Basic company information can be searched free of charge through the public search service of the Lithuanian Centre of Registers. More detailed extracts and corporate documents may be obtained through the Centre of Registers self-service portal, subject to the applicable identification, payment and access requirements. Certain services are available through one-time electronic purchases, while regular access or specialised data services may require a separate agreement with the Centre of Registers. Access to personal data, shareholder information and beneficial ownership records is subject to applicable legal restrictions.
Step 3:
Verification of a Lithuanian company’s real estate ownership, registered mortgages, pledges and asset seizures should be conducted through the relevant registers administered by the Lithuanian Centre of Registers. These include the Real Estate Register (NTR), the Register of Contracts and Restrictions on Rights (STSR), and the Register of Property Seizure Acts (TAAR). The former Mortgage Register (HR) was discontinued, and its relevant functions and records were transferred to other registers. This is recommended if we are talking about concluding a major real estate transaction or in cases where it is especially important to take into account all possible risks and have the fullest possible understanding of the counterparty.
The Real Estate Register (NTR) contains information about registered immovable property, ownership rights and relevant encumbrances, including registered mortgages. The Register of Contracts and Restrictions on Rights (STSR) contains information about certain registered pledges, mortgages and contractual restrictions on property rights. The Register of Property Seizure Acts (TAAR) records legally imposed asset seizures and related restrictions. The former Mortgage Register (HR) ceased operating as a separate state register on 1 January 2022.
How to get there:
- NTR https://www.registrucentras.lt/turtas, is available for registered users of the RC system (see above for how to register).
- Information about registered mortgages and pledges can be obtained through the relevant services of the Lithuanian Centre of Registers, including the Real Estate Register (NTR) and the Register of Contracts and Restrictions on Rights (STSR). Access to detailed records may require electronic identification, an authorised request and payment of the applicable fee. The former Mortgage Register (HR) should no longer be presented as a separate active state register.
- TAAR https://www.registrucentras.lt/turto_arestai, is available for registered users of the RC system (see above for how to register).
What can be verified:
- The Real Estate Register (NTR) can be used to verify registered ownership rights and other registered rights or encumbrances affecting immovable property. Information about lease agreements is available where the relevant rights or agreements have been registered. Not all privately concluded lease agreements appear in the register. Access to property information and searches based on a company’s identification code may be subject to legal restrictions, identification requirements and applicable fees.
- Information about registered mortgages and pledges may be obtained from the Real Estate Register (NTR) and the Register of Contracts and Restrictions on Rights (STSR), depending on the type of property and security interest. Available records may identify the secured assets, creditors, registered obligations and relevant restrictions. The former Mortgage Register (HR) is no longer maintained as a separate register. Applicable fees and search criteria depend on the register and the type of information requested.
- The Register of Property Seizure Acts (TAAR) provides information about registered asset seizures and legally imposed restrictions on the disposal or use of property. Depending on the available record and applicable access rights, an extract may identify the affected property, the authority responsible for the seizure, the legal basis, registration date and relevant restrictions. Detailed information may require an authorised request, and fees are determined according to the current tariffs of the Centre of Registers.
If you need to verify the financial, tax or regulatory status of a Lithuanian company, Company in Lithuania UAB can assist with corporate due diligence, official registry extracts and regulatory compliance checks. We also provide legal and regulatory assistance to businesses applying for authorisation as Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA). Since 1 January 2026, the former Lithuanian VASP registration regime no longer provides authorisation to offer regulated crypto-asset services, and the relevant MiCA authorisation requirements apply.
