Procedure for issuing/exchanging a Republic of Lithuania identity card or passport and their validity

ATTENTION:

Diplomatic missions and consular posts of the Republic of Lithuania issue/change identity cards or passports only in accordance with the general procedure. This can take up to two months from the date of application. If the identity card or passport is replaced following a change in the person's data (name, surname, etc.), or if it is issued for the first time to children born before 22.07.2008 and who have acquired the citizenship of another country, the time taken for its issue may be longer.
Only Migration Services in Lithuania can change an identity card or passport urgently.
If a citizen of the Republic of Lithuania's identity card or passport has expired or has been lost and the person does not have another valid identity document (identity card or passport) and needs to return to Lithuania urgently, the consular office may issue a temporary travel document for the return to Lithuania - the person's certificate of return.
The activation data (password) of the contact electronic medium of the identity card is only issued to persons aged 18 and over. The envelope containing the password can only be collected in person or, upon written request, by post. The password will not be issued to an authorised person.
A person has a right to refuse to take the activation data (password) of the contact electronic storage medium of the identity card.

Which documents must be submitted to obtain or renew a Lithuanian identity card or passport?

To obtain or renew an identity card or passport, a citizen of the Republic of Lithuania must personally visit a Lithuanian consular office abroad or a migration office in Lithuania.

However, for individuals aged 16 to 18 applying for their first document confirming Lithuanian citizenship and identity, one parent or guardian must also be present. If applying for the renewal or issuance of an identity card or passport for a person under 16 who already had a passport and/or identity card, the documents must be submitted by one parent or guardian, with the minor present.
When changing an identity card or passport due to a change of surname after marriage/divorce abroad, documents for the registration of the marriage/divorce in Lithuania must also be submitted.
When applying for the first Lithuanian passport or identity card for a child born abroad, documents for the registration of the child's birth in Lithuania must also be submitted.
When submitting an application for a child aged 1 to 16, the child must also be present. When submitting documents for a citizen under 1 year old, the child does not need to be present at the consular office.
If the parents are divorced, the following can apply for the issuance of an identity card or passport: The parent with whom the child's place of residence is established, by providing a court order confirming this; The other parent, by providing written consent from the parent with whom the child's place of residence is established (the signature must be notarized or equivalent, except when the consent is given in the presence of a consular officer) and a court order.
An identity card or passport is issued at a consular office only if the place of residence abroad is declared.
