Table of Contents

Data Sources

Lithuania has one data source: the Register of Legal Entities (Juridinių asmenų registras, JAR) open data, published by Registrų centras at registrucentras.lt. Three extracts feed the integration, all regenerated daily:
  • Registered entities: every entity currently on the register, with its legal form, legal status and status date.
  • Deregistered entities: entities removed from the register, with the removal date.
  • Share capital: registered share capital for the legal forms that must declare one.
Data reflects the latest daily extract, so a change filed with the register can take up to 24 hours to appear. There is no live query to the register.

Company Identifiers

Query Identifiers

The legal-entity code is not the VAT number. The Lithuanian PVM code is issued separately by the tax authority and cannot be derived from it. MAXIMA LT, for instance, is entity 123033512 but VAT LT230335113. Pass the 9-digit legal-entity code; VAT numbers are not accepted, and are not published in this register’s open data.

Company Status

Lithuania publishes an official legal-status classifier. An entity carries at most one status at a time. An entity under liquidation is still on the register and still reported as active until the proceeding completes. See the pricing page for the complete list of 30 status labels. Registrų centras publishes an official legal-form classifier of 168 codes, each with its own English translation. The most common: Branches and representative offices carry their own codes and are standardized as Branch or Representative Office, separately from the entity type they belong to. See the pricing page for the complete list.
Mažoji bendrija is translated by the register as “Small Partnership”, but its members have limited liability and it is standardized as a Limited Liability Company rather than a Partnership.

The register redacts the registered name of individual enterprises and partnerships, publishing the bare legal-form label instead. Topograph relays exactly what the register publishes and never substitutes a name.
