Is Lithuania a Hague Convention country?
Yes. The Apostille Convention has been in force for Lithuania since 19 July 1997, and for the United States since 15 October 1981 — so a U.S. apostille is accepted in Lithuania with no embassy step.
The route to Lithuania
A Naturalization Certificate is issued by US Citizenship and Immigration Services, a federal authority, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — never by a state office. For Lithuania, that apostille is the finish line.
People most often send documents to Lithuania for citizenship by descent and residency. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
