    How do I search the business registry in Lithuania?

    Use JAR (Register of Legal Entities) as a starting source for Lithuania, then check its scope for the business form you need. Types can include UAB (Uždaroji akcinė bendrovė), AB (Akcinė bendrovė). A trading name may need a separate source or document; it does not automatically identify a legal entity. Official access requirements vary.

    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.
