Document Translation and Notary Certification
STATE INSTITUTIONS REQUIRE DOCUMENTS TO BE CONFIRMED BY A NOTARY OR THE TRANSLATION OFFICE? SAVE TIME AND AVOID ANY UNNECESSARY ISSUES THAT MIGHT ARISE — WE’LL TAKE CARE OF BOTH THE TRANSLATION AND THE CERTIFICATION PROCESSES.
Do you need a legally valid document in a foreign language? Our team not only handles translation into over 100 language combinations, but also provides notary certified translations, apostilles, and document legalization services. Below you’ll find how Skrivanek can support your needs for official document translation and notarization.
PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATIONS OF OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS
In addition to the translation of the document itself, a notary’s certification or the translation agency’s stamp is often required when submitting documents to state institutions or collaborating with foreign partners. Skrivanek is a translation agency fully equipped to deliver all forms of notarized translation of documents, including notary public certification.
Our translation agency in Vilnius works with over 100 language combinations. We validate documents based on your situation and the requirements of the receiving institution. When notary certification is not required, we issue certified document translations with our company stamp. When notary certification is needed, we deliver a fully prepared and legally valid document that includes the translator’s signature certified by a notary, a bound copy, or an apostille stamp.
If you’re searching for a translation agency in Vilnius that can also provide notary translation services, we’re here to help. Unlike agencies that offer only translation, Skrivanek delivers a complete package – including all required certifications – saving you time and administrative effort.

Skrivanek translation agency is prepared to meet your individual or business needs. With our team of professional translators and partnerships with experienced notaries, we provide reliable and accurate document translation and notarization services across Lithuania.
DOCUMENT CERTIFICATION
We provide fast, professional translations of diplomas, graduation certificates, criminal records, place of residence documents, marriage, divorce, birth, and death certificates — as well as other official documents. Translations can be certified with our company stamp, or, if required, notarized.
If you’re submitting a translated document to an official institution, you may need the translator’s signature to be notarized. Skrivanek is the right choice if you need both certified translation and notary services. We ensure your documents meet the standards required by state authorities and international bodies.
TRANSLATION AGENCY-CERTIFIED TRANSLATIONS
This certification type is used when notary certification is not required. The UAB Skrivanek stamp is used to confirm the translator’s signature, providing a verified translation without validating the original document copy.
This option is suitable for simpler documents such as:
- Translations of school certificates
- Diplomas
- Documents for private companies or internal use
Such certified translation services are often faster and more cost-efficient while still offering credibility.
NOTARY-CERTIFIED TRANSLATIONS
A notary public translation certification can confirm just the translator’s signature, or both the signature and a copy of the original document. Before starting your project, we recommend consulting a notary, especially when the notarized translation will be submitted abroad.
We can connect you with a notary or communicate on your behalf. Whether you’re located in Vilnius or elsewhere in Lithuania, our team will coordinate the process to ensure efficiency and legal compliance. For critical cases, choosing a translation agency that handles notary translations directly is the most reliable option.
CONFIRMING THE AUTHENTICITY OF A DOCUMENT
For some documents, especially those intended for use abroad, authentication or legalization is required. This can involve evaluation and approval by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania, a consular department, or an equivalent foreign institution.
The authenticity of the document involves:
- Confirming the signature and its legal authority
- Identifying the institution or office responsible
- Ensuring the seal and formatting meet international standards
Such validation is critical when presenting official translated documents in other countries.
APOSTILLES
An apostille is a formal confirmation of the authenticity of a signature and stamp, and is issued by a notary in Lithuania. This process follows the 1961 Hague Convention, which allows public documents to be recognized internationally without additional legalization.
Apostilles are required for many notarial document translations and include:
- Signature validation
- Stamp authenticity
- Confirmation of the official’s legal authority
Apostilled translations are accepted by most countries that are members of the Hague Convention.
DOCUMENT LEGALISATION REQUIREMENTS
This service is available to business clients and applies when full document legalisation is needed (beyond an apostille).
Key requirements include:
- The target language must match the official language of the destination country, or be English.
- The translated and original documents must be bound together.
- The package must be certified by a notary or translation office.
- Any copies must also go through notarial certification.
Meeting these standards helps prevent delays and ensures your documents are accepted without issue.
