This guide contains public integration notes for Lithuania. Use it for identifier formats, search behavior, and country-specific caveats. The live source of truth for coverage, pricing, data sources, documents, legal forms, and status values is the pricing page.

Lithuania coverage, pricing, and sources

Open the current catalog for supported datapoints, sources, identifiers, and availability.

Lithuania is in beta. Check the live pricing page or contact support before relying on it in production. LT is accepted by the API but is not yet listed in the public countryCode enum of the OpenAPI spec.

Lithuania is prefill-only. Every request must pass "mode": "prefill". The whole country is served from a daily bulk extract of the register, so there is no authoritative live lane for verification — which is what /v2/company uses when you omit mode. A request without it comes back with the datapoint failed and the error code authoritative_source_unavailable. See Modes.

Country details below are preserved as integration notes. If a table or example conflicts with the live pricing page, use the pricing page as the source of truth and contact support.

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

Identifier	Format	Example	Notes
Juridinio asmens kodas	9 digits	`123033512`	The legal-entity code. Assigned by Registrų centras at registration and used for every entity type.

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.

Identifiers in API Response

Identifier	Format	Example
`jaKodas`	9 digits	`123033512`
`euid`	`LTJAR.` + 9 digits	`LTJAR.123033512`

EUID is returned for UAB and AB companies with a confirmed legal-entity code and legal form.

Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)

GLEIF is the supplementary data source for this identifier. company.identifiers.lei is optional. It is returned when the legal-entity code (jaKodas) matches exactly one LEI through a GLEIF registration or validation reference. The Legal Entity Identifier has 20 uppercase alphanumeric characters, ending in two check digits. Coverage varies by entity. An absent lei does not prove that the company has no LEI. Lapsed, retired or merged LEIs may be returned; annulled LEIs are excluded.

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Example	Match type	Notes
By legal-entity code (exact)	`123033512`	`id`	Exact match only.
By name (partial)	`MAXIMA LT`	`name`	Full-text search.

Search is free. Only company profile retrieval is charged.

Active companies only

Search can return companies that are no longer active. Each result carries the register’s status, so activeOnly=true removes the inactive ones.

Supported Entity Types

Entity type	Supported	Notes
Companies	Yes	UAB, AB, MB, ŽŪB, cooperatives, credit unions, and every other registered form
Sole traders and partnerships	Yes	IĮ, TŪB, KŪB, but the register anonymises their names (see below)
Non-profits	Yes	Associations, charity and sponsorship funds, public institutions, religious communities, trade unions, political parties
Public bodies	Yes	State and municipal enterprises, budget institutions
Branches and representative offices	Yes	Including branches of foreign legal entities
Deregistered entities	Yes	Reported as closed, with the removal date

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
Use prefill mode	Lithuania has a single non-authoritative mode. Pass `"mode": "prefill"` on `/v2/company`; the default verification path has no source to resolve.
No live register access	All data comes from daily bulk extracts. Real-time queries are not available.
Anonymised names for IĮ / TŪB / KŪB	The register redacts the names of individual enterprises and partnerships in its open data, because those names contain the owner’s or partners’ personal names. Around 13,500 entities are affected. They return the bare legal-form label as their `legalName` (for example `Individuali įmonė`), and are findable by legal-entity code but not by name.
No officers, shareholders or beneficial owners	The register’s open data publishes only counts: how many governing bodies an entity has and how many participants, split by resident/foreign and natural/legal person. No names or percentages are published anywhere in the open data.
Status “no legal proceedings” means healthy	`Teisinis statusas neįregistruotas` is the normal state of a sound company (98% of the register). It means no restructuring, insolvency or dissolution proceeding is registered, and maps to `ACTIVE`.
Pre-euro share capital	Capital last declared before Lithuania adopted the euro in 2015 is still recorded in litas. It is returned with currency `LTL` and is not converted.
Municipality-only addresses	A small number of entities register an address that names only a municipality (for example `Vilniaus m. sav.`). These return `region` and no `city`.

Mappings

Company Status

Lithuania publishes an official legal-status classifier. An entity carries at most one status at a time.

Local status	English	Standardized status	Active
Teisinis statusas neįregistruotas	No legal proceedings	`ACTIVE`	Yes
Reorganizuojamas	Under reorganization	`ACTIVE`	Yes
Pertvarkomas	Under reformation	`ACTIVE`	Yes
Restruktūrizuojamas	Under restructuring	`UNDER_INSOLVENCY_PROCEEDING`	Yes
Bankrutuojantis	Going bankrupt	`UNDER_INSOLVENCY_PROCEEDING`	Yes
Bankrutavęs	Bankrupt	`UNDER_INSOLVENCY_PROCEEDING`	No
Likviduojamas	Under liquidation	`PENDING_DISSOLUTION`	Yes
Inicijuojamas likvidavimas	Liquidation being initiated	`PENDING_DISSOLUTION`	Yes
Likviduojamas dėl bankroto	Liquidation due to bankruptcy	`UNDER_INSOLVENCY_PROCEEDING`	Yes
Nepersiregistravęs	Not reregistered	`INACTIVE_NOT_CLOSED`	No
Išregistruotas	Removed from the register	`CLOSED`	No
Likviduotas	Liquidated	`CLOSED`	No

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.

Legal Forms

Registrų centras publishes an official legal-form classifier of 168 codes, each with its own English translation. The most common:

Local name	English	Standardized	Legal basis
Uždaroji akcinė bendrovė (UAB)	Private Limited Liability Company	Limited Liability Company	Law on Companies art. 2
Mažoji bendrija (MB)	Small Partnership	Limited Liability Company	Law on Small Partnerships art. 2
Akcinė bendrovė (AB)	Public Limited Liability Company	Corporation	Law on Companies art. 2
Asociacija	Association	Nonprofit Organization	Law on Associations art. 2
Individuali įmonė (IĮ)	Individual Enterprise	Sole Proprietorship	Law on Individual Enterprises art. 2–3
Viešoji įstaiga (VšĮ)	Public Institution	Nonprofit Organization	Law on Public Establishments art. 2
Bendrija	Community	Nonprofit Organization	-
Biudžetinė įstaiga	Budget Institution	Government-Owned Entity	Law on Budgetary Institutions art. 2
Labdaros ir paramos fondas	Charity and Sponsorship Fund	Nonprofit Organization	Law on Charity and Sponsorship Funds art. 2
Tikroji ūkinė bendrija (TŪB)	General Partnership	Partnership	Law on Partnerships art. 2
Komanditinė ūkinė bendrija (KŪB)	Limited Partnership	Partnership	Law on Partnerships art. 2
Žemės ūkio bendrovė (ŽŪB)	Agricultural Company	Limited Liability Company	Law on Agricultural Companies art. 3
Kooperatinė bendrovė	Cooperative Society	Cooperative	Law on Cooperative Companies art. 1–2
Kredito unija	Credit Union	Cooperative	Law on Credit Unions art. 3(2)
Valstybės įmonė (VĮ)	State Enterprise	Government-Owned Entity	Law on State and Municipal Enterprises art. 2
Užsienio juridinio asmens filialas	Branch of a Foreign Enterprise	Branch or Representative Office	-

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. The Legal basis column links the act that creates or defines each form, at its current consolidated text. The pricing-page catalogue carries the same links for every verified base form in a legalBasisBeta list, one entry per act. This field is in beta: its name and shape may change before it becomes legalBasis. European forms (SE, SCE, EEIG, EGTC, European political parties) link to their EU regulation. Branches, representative offices and historical forms with no current act have no link.

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.Agricultural Company uses the same broad limited-liability category while retaining its distinct native form and ISO 20275 reference. Individual Enterprise has separate legal personality and unlimited owner liability; its Sole Proprietorship category is a broad ownership grouping.

Individual enterprise with an anonymised name

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.
