International Document Solutions
Need to use a foreign document in Lithuania?
Document translation
AIRV prepares certified and notarised translations for international students, foreign nationals, families, employers, companies and professional partners. We translate documents from more than 100 languages into Lithuanian and help clients arrange the certification, electronic or paper format and delivery required for their situation.
Start with a complete scan. Send every page, both sides, stamps, signatures, apostilles, legalisation endorsements and handwritten entries. Tell us where the document will be used so we can confirm the translation scope, certification, price, timeline and delivery format.
Documents we translate
-
Police Clearance Certificates and criminal record certificates
-
birth, marriage, divorce, death and civil-status certificates

family relationship, single-status and name-change documents

Common situations
MIGRIS and residence procedures
AIRV prepares Lithuanian translations for MIGRIS and Migration Department procedures. We know how to translate and certify the documents correctly. If the authority requests additional information, the issue is normally connected with the source document or the completeness of the application package rather than the AIRV certification format.
International students
We translate documents for universities, LAMA BPO, SKVC, MIGRIS and other education-related procedures, including diplomas, transcripts, Police Clearance Certificates and civil-status records.
Lithuanian citizenship restoration
AIRV translates civil-status, naturalisation, archive, passport and other documents used in Lithuanian citizenship restoration packages. We work with applicants, families, lawyers and citizenship partners in Brazil, Israel, the United States and other countries.
Employment of foreign nationals
Work record books and military service records are among the documents AIRV translates particularly often. We also prepare employment, qualification, experience and criminal-record documents for employers and foreign employees.
Marriage, family and other official procedures
We translate birth, marriage, divorce, family and name-change documents for municipalities, civil registry offices, courts, notaries and other authorities.
Certification and notarisation
Many Lithuanian institutions accept a translation certified with the AIRV translation bureau stamp and the translator’s signature. Notarisation is arranged when it is required for the specific document or procedure. We do not add notarisation automatically when translation-bureau certification is sufficient.
Apostille and legalisation
A foreign public document may need an apostille or legalisation before it can be used in Lithuania. The route depends on the issuing country, document type, destination and any applicable international or European Union exemption. AIRV can review the document, explain the likely route and coordinate the actions we are authorised to handle.
Apostille and legalisation requirements change and the final assessment belongs to the receiving authority. For a detailed explanation, use the AIRV apostille and legalisation guide.
How the process works
-
Send the documents and instructions. Email clear scans or photographs of the complete document and tell us where it will be submitted.
-
We review the package. We assess the languages, volume, stamps, certifications, handwritten entries and whether physical originals may be needed.
-
Receive one quotation. We confirm the translation scope, certification, price, timeline and electronic or paper delivery format.
-
Translation and certification. AIRV translates the agreed content and applies the appropriate translation-bureau certification or arranges notarisation when required.
-
Receive or forward the documents. We can provide electronic files, certified paper translations and delivery to you or another specified recipient.
Original documents
Clear scans are usually sufficient for review, quotation and many certified translations. Physical originals may be required for notarisation, when the translation must be attached to the original or when the receiving institution asks to inspect the original document. Originals may be sent directly to our Vilnius or Kaunas offices; include your full name, email address, phone number and the institution where the documents will be used.
Formats, timing, payment and delivery
-
Signed and stamped PDF scan
-
digitally signed ADOC when suitable and agreed
-
certified paper translation
-
courier or postal delivery in Lithuania or abroad
-
direct delivery to a university, employer or another specified institution.
Many short document translations are completed within 1–2 business days. Larger packages and uncommon language combinations require an individual timeline. International clients may pay by bank transfer or PayPal.
Frequently asked questions
Can I order from abroad?
Yes. Send scans for review and quotation. If originals are required, they may be shipped directly to AIRV.
Do all pages, stamps and apostilles need to be translated?
Official translations normally include all visible text, stamps, signatures, apostilles, endorsements and information on both sides of the document. Send the complete document so we can confirm the scope.
Do I always need a notarised translation?
No. Translation-bureau certification is sufficient for many procedures. We arrange notarisation when it is specifically required.
Can AIRV confirm that an institution will accept my document?
AIRV prepares translations according to the identified requirements and, from daily practice, knows what commonly causes problems. Requirements can change and the receiving institution makes the final decision on the underlying document and the application package.
Can AIRV send the completed documents to an institution?
Yes. We can arrange delivery to universities, employers, public authorities and other specified recipients in Lithuania, or ship the documents internationally.
Send your documents for review
Email the complete document package and the receiving institution’s instructions to info@airv.lt. We will confirm the appropriate translation and certification option, price, timeline and delivery format.

How the cost of translation is calculated?
The pricing model is based on the number of symbols. One standard translation page consists of 1,500 symbols excluding spaces. Different rates apply to different language combinations and for this reason, call or email to the translation agency and ask for more specific price. You should specify a) a language combination; b) a required translation service.
Is it possible to order translation services remotely?
Yes. If you need a notarized document, you can deliver your documents or texts by email and the translation agency shall take care of everything–they shall provide you with an electronic version of the translation validated by the agency.
Are urgent translation tasks charged extra?
No. We take every step to complete the translation as soon as possible and deliver it to a customer and therefore, we do not apply additional charges.
Are interpreting (consecutive and simultaneous) services offered?
Yes. Highly professional interpreters provide this service. Interpreters are selected subject to the field of specialisation, e.g. interpreting during events, conferences, commercial negotiations etc.
Is it possible to complete paperwork in Lithuania, if a customer is abroad?
Definitely yes. The translation agency helps the customers abroad very often: they can rely on us when they need translation, notarisation or legalisation services. You can email us the documents you need to be translated, or, alternatively, you can choose courier or prepaid post services. The documents will be prepared in line with your requirements.
Is it possible to order translation of sound and video records?
Yes. We offer the translation of more than 30 sound recording formats, including AIFF, M4A, MP3, MP4, WAV and WMA. We can also work with YouTube and other resources.
What translation fields we handle?
We have professional translators working in such fields as medicine, finance, engineering, law, advertising as well as creative translations.
Are online translations time-saving?
As usual, our response time is very short. Whether you decide to order translations online or to visit our physical offices, we shall do everything for you as soon as possible.
What makes the translation cost-effective?
We use the latest translation technologies and software. They can recognise repetition and thus save your money. This is not an automated translation but rather translation tools that allow to maintain the original formatting of the translated text. If any text was translated before, the tool will offer the repeated segments of the text automatically. In this way, the translation process is shorter, cheaper and of better quality.
Where exactly the translation office in Vilnius is?
Our translation office in Vilnius is at Raugyklos g. 4A, LT-01139. The easiest way to find it is by walking or driving along Raugyklos Street from the Margutis sculpture towards V. Šopeno Street. You can park your car on the street in front of the office (there is a yellow zone nearby). You will easily spot the office signboard. You are welcome to drop by.
Digital certification of translations – is it a free service?
With the rapid changes in living conditions during the global COVID-19 pandemic, the popularity of eco friendly translation, a service that has been on the market for a number of years, has grown significantly. This means that we will digitally certify the translations of the documents for which you do not need a hard copy, free of charge, using our office stamps, making the process completely paperless. Let's protect our planet and print responsibly.
