# Lithuania
> Country-specific identifiers, data sources, and implementation details
## Start here
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.
Open the current catalog for supported datapoints, sources, identifiers, and availability.
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](https://www.registrucentras.lt/jar/).
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` |
## Search Capabilities

| ---------------------------- | ----------- | ---------- | ----------------- |
| By legal-entity code (exact) | `123033512` | `id` | Exact match only. |
| By name (partial) | `MAXIMA LT` | `name` | Full-text search. |

## Quirks & Gotchas
| Quirk | Details |
| -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Use onboarding mode** | Lithuania has a single non-authoritative mode. Pass `"mode": "onboarding"` 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 |
| ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Uždaroji akcinė bendrovė (UAB) | Private Limited Liability Company | Limited Liability Company |
| Mažoji bendrija (MB) | Small Partnership | Limited Liability Company |
| Akcinė bendrovė (AB) | Public Limited Liability Company | Corporation |
| Asociacija | Association | Nonprofit Organization |
| Individuali įmonė (IĮ) | Individual Enterprise | Sole Proprietorship |
| Viešoji įstaiga (VšĮ) | Public Institution | Nonprofit Organization |
| Bendrija | Community | Nonprofit Organization |
| Biudžetinė įstaiga | Budget Institution | Government-Owned Entity |
| Labdaros ir paramos fondas | Charity and Sponsorship Fund | Nonprofit Organization |
| Tikroji ūkinė bendrija (TŪB) | General Partnership | Partnership |
| Komanditinė ūkinė bendrija (KŪB) | Limited Partnership | Partnership |
| Žemės ūkio bendrovė (ŽŪB) | Agricultural Company | Cooperative |
| Kooperatinė bendrovė | Cooperative Society | Cooperative |
| Kredito unija | Credit Union | Cooperative |
| Valstybės įmonė (VĮ) | State Enterprise | Government-Owned Entity |
| 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.
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.
