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.
Why this document takes the state route
A US Passport Copy is certified by a notary, so the signature being authenticated is the notary’s — not a federal official’s. That means it is authenticated by the Secretary of State of the state where it was notarized. For Lithuania, that state apostille is the final step.
We handle Florida notarizations through the full chain. Documents notarized in other states need that state’s authentication first.
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.
