Also, due to technological innovations, it is possible to certify documents with an electronic signature. Lithuanian law on electronic signature foresees that the electronic signature, by which the electronic document is signed, has the same legal force as the signature in written documents and is admissible as evidence in court (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.elektroninis.lt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more details<\/a>).<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Translation Certification by the Office<\/span><\/p><p>The translated text is attached to the original document or its copy (it depends on where and to whom the document is provided).

In addition, a stamp, which specifies the number of pages and date, is placed next to it. Certification with the office stamps testifies that the translator is familiar with the Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania article 235 on the false complaint, statement, evidence, opinion and assessment foreseeing a penalty of community service or a fine, or a restriction of liberty, or arrest, or imprisonment up to two years (more details in\u00a0<a style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.infolex.lt\/ta\/66150:str235\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania<\/a>).<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Translation Certification by a Notary<\/span><\/p><p>Translation text may be attached to the original document or document of a transcript.

By this procedure, the notary certifies that the transcript matches the original document. The final page, with the data about the translator and notary, is attached to the original document or its transcript. With his\/her signatures and seals, the notary testifies the certainty of the translator\u2019s signature (with the signature, the translator testifies that he\/she is familiar with the Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania article 235 that foresees responsibility for the falsely performed translation).<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Apostille<\/span><\/p><p>Legislation of documents and approval certificate (Apostille) is necessary for the fact that the official documents issued in one state would be valid in another state.
