Can I Start the Process from Abroad?
Yes. In most cases, you can email us a scan of your document for review and quotation.
Once we confirm the requirements, you may send the original document to our office if necessary.
Can I Send the Original Document Directly to AIRV?
Yes. Original documents may be shipped directly to our offices in Vilnius or Kaunas.
Please make sure to include:
- Your full name
- Email address

- Information about the institution where the document will be used
This helps us process your request quickly and avoid delays.
Do You Need the Original Document?
For translation purposes, scanned copies are usually sufficient. However, original documents may be required for notarization or when the receiving institution requests that the translation be attached to the original document.
Foreign-issued documents should normally be apostilled or legalized in the country where they were issued before use in Lithuania.
Can AIRV Obtain Legalization from the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
Unfortunately, no. According to current procedures, foreign-issued documents submitted for legalization at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania must generally be presented by:
- The document owner
- The document owner’s employer
- The receiving university or institution
AIRV cannot complete this procedure on behalf of clients.
How Long Does Translation Take?
Most Police Clearance Certificate translations are completed within 1–2 business days.
Urgent service may be available depending on the language pair and document volume.
Can You Deliver Documents Directly to a University or Other Institution?
Yes. For an additional fee, we can send completed documents directly to:
- Lithuanian universities
- Municipalities
- Employers
- Other institutions in Lithuania
How Can I Pay from Abroad?

Apostille or Legalization – Which One Do I Need?
If your country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention
Your PCC should usually be apostilled before being used in Lithuania.
After apostille certification, we can prepare and certify the Lithuanian translation.
To find out whether your country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, please consult the official list published by the Hague Conference on Private International Law: https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/authorities1/?cid=41
If your country is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention
The document may require legalization before it can be used in Lithuania.
Additional procedures may be required through Lithuanian authorities.
If you are unsure which procedure applies to your country, send us a copy of your document and we will explain the next steps.
Important: Translation Must Usually Be Prepared from the Original Language
Lithuanian authorities may require the translation to be prepared directly from the original language
Example:
✓ Arabic → Lithuanian
Not:
✗ Arabic → English → Lithuanian
If your document was issued in Arabic, Korean, Vietnamese, Kazakh, Hindi or another language, please send us both the original document and any existing translations so we can advise you correctly.

OrderHow 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.
