Certification and notarisation
Lithuania has no sworn translators: a translation is certified by the translator’s signature. If an authority requires it, a notary attests that my signature is genuine, and a document for use abroad may also need an apostille. We agree which certification you need before I start. Notary fees are not included in the translation price.
Payment
Companies pay within 14 days of delivery, against a VAT invoice. VAT-registered businesses in other EU countries are invoiced under the reverse charge. I may ask private clients to pay in advance; in that case I start once the payment arrives.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a translation cost?
Prices are per page: one page is 1,700 characters without spaces. Private clients pay from €9 per page incl. VAT and companies from €10 excl. VAT. Translation with legal review costs from €14 excl. VAT (from €17 incl. VAT for private clients). Interpreting costs €60 per hour incl. VAT. The minimum order is €15 incl. VAT. I confirm the final price once I see the document.
How quickly can you translate?
I translate more than 5,000 words a day, weekends included. A document of a few pages is usually ready within 1–2 working days. If you need it the same working day, a 50% urgency surcharge applies. Before I start, I confirm in my quote when the translation will be ready.
Will the translation be certified? Do I need a notary?
I sign the translation as the translator (Lithuania has no sworn translators). If an authority requires it, a notary attests that my signature is genuine, and a document for use abroad may also need an apostille. I will tell you in advance what your case is likely to need. Notary fees are not included in the translation price.
Are you a sworn translator?
No. Lithuania has no system of sworn translators, so the status cannot be obtained here. A translation is certified by the translator’s signature and, where an authority requires it, by a notary who attests that signature.
How do I send my documents?
Through the request form or by email. Word, PDF, Excel and PowerPoint files work, as does a clear photo or scan of the document. Tell me what the translation is for and when you need it.
Are my documents safe?
I treat all documents as confidential. I do not upload them to services that use submitted content to train their models, and I process personal data only as far as the translation requires. If required, we can sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and a data processing agreement (DPA). I keep documents for up to 12 months.
Do you use machine translation and AI?
Yes, as aids: translation memories, termbases, machine translation and AI tools. They speed up the work and keep terminology consistent, but I check and edit every sentence myself and remain responsible for the result. If you would rather I did not use machine translation or AI on your document, let me know and I will work without them.
What is a legal review?
It is a check that the legal terms and concepts in the translation mean the same as in the original, and that references to legislation, dates, amounts and party names match. A legal review is not legal advice. More
Which languages do you translate?
I translate English into Lithuanian and Lithuanian into English myself. Other languages are translated by vetted partners, while I coordinate the project and remain responsible for the result. Any language pair works – the process stays the same.
Do you work with translation agencies?
Yes, for ten years now. Agencies get separate terms, and I work in their CAT tools (Trados, memoQ, Phrase). Get in touch and I will send you my agency rates.
