    How do I search the business registry in Lithuania?

    The Lithuania business registry is operated by JAR (Register of Legal Entities). It covers UAB (Uždaroji akcinė bendrovė), AB (Akcinė bendrovė). Search by business name to find the registered entity behind a trading name — free, no signup.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Search the trading name you were given

      Start with the name on the invoice, website or contract. It is often a trading name rather than the registered legal name.

    2. 2

      Identify the legal entity behind it

      JAR (Register of Legal Entities) records the legal entity. Matching a trading name to its registered entity is the whole point of a registry search — the two are frequently different.

    3. 3

      Check the entity type

      Lithuania recognises UAB (Uždaroji akcinė bendrovė), AB (Akcinė bendrovė). Entity type determines liability and who is legally responsible, so it matters before you contract.

    4. 4

      Note what the registry does not cover

      Sole traders and unregistered activity may not appear at all. An absent record is not automatically proof of fraud — it can simply mean the business is not required to register.
