Lithuanian translator

The UK has no sworn-translator institute, so there is no "sworn translator" as a legal office here. For official acceptance we provide certified translation: a signed and dated statement of accuracy from the translator or the agency, with our contact details. Where a body asks for more, this can be escalated to notarisation by a solicitor or notary public, or to an apostille or legalisation through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). We confirm in the quote which level your receiving authority requires.

Lithuania has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention (1961) since 1997. Lithuanian public documents are legalised for international use with an apostille issued by the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a UK document destined for Lithuania is apostilled through the FCDO. We set out the route with you up front and arrange the certified translation that goes with it.

Lithuanian is one of the most archaic living Indo-European languages, with seven cases and an extensive system of inflection. A direct, word-for-word rendering from English often produces the wrong endings or sentence structure. Our native specialist translators rebuild the sentence with the correct case and preserve every diacritic — ą, č, ė, š, ū, ž — so the text reads as standard Lithuanian.

We work with native specialist translators and reference the recognised UK professional bodies — the ITI (Institute of Translation and Interpreting), the CIOL (Chartered Institute of Linguists) and, for interpreting, the NRPSI (National Register of Public Service Interpreters). These are bodies of reference for the profession; we name them so you can see the standard the work is held to.

Common requests are employment and posting contracts, birth and marriage certificates, diplomas and transcripts, EU procedural documents, company filings and technical manuals. UK-specific cases we handle often are Home Office and UKVI immigration documents, qualifications assessed by UK ENIC, HMCTS court documents and Companies House extracts. We confirm the approach and any certification per document in the quote.

On working days you receive a quote within 1 hour. The lead time for the translation itself depends on document type, volume, language pair and any required certification, and is confirmed in the quote. For tight deadlines we confirm a workable rush schedule up front rather than promising a fixed turnaround.

For legal Lithuanian translation — contracts, articles of association, judgments, notarial deeds — we pair you with a translator who has a legal background and match terminology to the relevant legal system. Our legal-translation page goes deeper into certification, the closing statement of accuracy and how company forms such as UAB and AB are handled. See [legal translation](/en/services/legal-translation/).

A Lithuanian translation agency takes the coordination off your hands. We select the specialist who fits your document and sector, arrange certification, notarisation or legalisation where an authority requires it, and have the work checked by a second reviewer. You keep one point of contact for terminology, scheduling and delivery, all under a single quote. A skilled freelance translator does excellent work too; the difference an agency adds is bringing those moving parts together so you are not managing them separately.
