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 FBI Background Check is issued by Federal Bureau of Investigation, 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.

About the FBI Background Check

How to apostille an FBI background check for use abroad.

This is one of the documents we can obtain for you. If you don’t have your FBI Background Check yet, we can request it and prepare it for Lithuania in the same order.

Report age is the usual problem. Many countries only accept an FBI report issued within the last 3–6 months, and some require the apostille within a set window of issuance. Confirm the destination's recency rule before you authenticate — a report that ages out mid-process has to be re-run.
