The Juridinių asmenų registras (JAR), the Register of Legal Entities, is kept by the State Enterprise Centre of Registers (Registrų centras). Every Lithuanian legal person has a legal entity code (juridinio asmens kodas) of 9 digits, for example 110053842 for Lietuvos geležinkeliai, with the ninth digit a check digit.
Exactly 9 digits. The ninth is a check digit: the first eight digits are weighted 1 to 8 and summed modulo 11; a remainder of 10 is recomputed with the weights 3 to 9 and 1, and a second 10 becomes 0. The check is enforced. LT in front of the digits is a VAT number, not the company code.
Company records from the Register of Legal Entities (JAR): legal name, legal form, status (including liquidation, bankruptcy and restructuring), registered address with the county, the NACE Rev. 2.1 activity class, share capital for UAB and AB, the VAT number from the State Tax Inspectorate list, and dates; updated daily. Company records only: no officers, no registry-compliance signal and no insolvency notices. Sole proprietorships (individuali įmonė), partnerships (TUB, KUB), branches, state enterprises and non-commercial bodies are never served. Register-change events (name, status, legal form and registered address changes, dated when the change first appears in the register data, none before the first load in October 2026) and company monitoring are available.
GET /companies/search?company_number=110053842&country=LT returns the record; vat=LT100538411 finds it by VAT number. The free company code lookup runs the same call without a key.
