Lithuania company search: Register of Legal Persons (jar.lt)

TL;DR. Lithuania’s Register of Legal Persons (Juridiniu asmenu registras) is operated by the Centre of Registers (Registru centras). The statutory host https://www.jar.lt did not respond when last checked. No search form, extract fee or English screen could be read, so fees in this guide read unknown rather than free; confirm at source. Related hosts named below are not confirmed here. This page does not claim those hosts loaded, timed out, or failed to resolve. This page does not prescribe enhanced due diligence.

What is the official Lithuania business registry?

Lithuania’s Register of Legal Persons (Juridiniu asmenu registras) is the official company register, maintained by the Centre of Registers (Registru centras), a state enterprise under the Ministry of Justice. The statutory host is https://www.jar.lt, which did not respond when last checked.

The agency site registrucentras.lt is a named Centre of Registers host. rekvizitai.lt is a named commercial site rather than the Centre of Registers, and is not the statutory register. Confirm current access at source. This page does not claim those hosts loaded, timed out, or failed to resolve.

The statutory basis is the Law on the Register of Legal Persons (Juridiniu asmenu registro istatymas, No. VIII-2031, in force from 2003) and the Civil Code of Lithuania (Civilinis kodeksas), which together define registration requirements, disclosure obligations, and the legal effect of the register.

The Centre of Registers is a multi-register authority administering the Register of Legal Persons alongside the Real Property Register, the Mortgage Register, and several other state registers.

Entity types covered include: Uzdaroji akcine bendrove (UAB, private limited company), Akcine bendrove (AB, joint-stock company), Individuali imone (II, individual enterprise), Tikroji ukine bendrija (TUB, general partnership), Komandinine ukine bendrija (KUB, limited partnership), individual companies, cooperative societies, state and municipal enterprises, branches and representative offices of foreign companies, and non-profit associations (maintained in the same register).

Lithuania participates in the EU Business Registers Interconnection System (BRIS). Confirm current BRIS access at source. This page does not claim that EU host loaded a search screen.

What can you search?

Nothing could be searched on jar.lt: the host did not respond. Company name, registration code and VAT-number fields are therefore not confirmed here; confirm at source.

Certified-extract products (Irasas is Juridiniu asmenu registro, founding documents, apostille) could not be confirmed either.

How much does it cost?

No extract fees could be read, because jar.lt did not respond, so the table above reads unknown rather than free; confirm at source.

Do you need a local account or ID?

Optional. Account rules could not be confirmed, because no official search page was reachable. Confirm at source.

Is the website in English?

Partial. English coverage could not be confirmed, because no official search page was reachable. jar.lt has been reported to offer an English-language interface, with documents still issued in Lithuanian; confirm at source.

What’s the turnaround time?

Unknown. jar.lt did not respond, so no download path could be reached; confirm at source.

Electronic certified extracts, when the official host is reachable, have historically been digitally signed PDFs under the eIDAS Regulation (EU 910/2014). That path could not be confirmed here; confirm at source.

Is there an API?

No. The Centre of Registers does not provide a confirmed public API for programmatic access to the Register of Legal Persons. Neither jar.lt nor a replacement official search could be reached.

Lithuania participates in BRIS. Confirm current BRIS access at source. This page does not claim that host loaded.

What you legally cannot do

Lithuania implements GDPR through the Law on Legal Protection of Personal Data (Asmens duomenu teisines apsaugos istatymas, as amended). Director and manager natural persons in company records are data subjects. Scraping is not permitted. This page does not prescribe a screening workflow.

Lithuania’s beneficial ownership rules sit in the Law on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Pinigu plovimo ir teroristu finansavimo prevencijos istatymas, implementing EU 5AMLD, Directive 2018/843/EU). A public UBO search is not confirmed here; confirm at source.

Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers

• The statutory host did not respond. jar.lt is not a working search right now.
• Registration code is the named primary identifier. Every Lithuanian legal entity has a unique registration code (Juridinio asmens kodas), a 9-digit number. It is not a confirmed search field here.
• UAB is the dominant form. The UAB (Uzdaroji akcine bendrove, private limited company) is the most common commercial entity in Lithuania. Minimum share capital was reported as reduced to EUR 1 in 2022; confirm at source.
• jar.lt is the statutory register. Named commercial sites are not the Centre of Registers. Confirm at source.
• FATF. Whether Lithuania appears on a FATF monitoring list is not confirmed here. Confirm at the FATF source. This page does not prescribe enhanced due diligence.
• Status terminology. “Registruota” has been reported as active. “Likviduojama” as voluntary liquidation. “Bankrutuojanti” or “Bankrutavusi” as insolvency. None of those labels could be read here.

Alternatives if you cannot access the registry directly
