Lithuanian and Estonian
Lithuanian and Estonian translation
Documents for Lithuania and Estonia — countries covered by legal assistance treaties with Ukraine.
How we work
Lithuania and Estonia are frequent destinations for work, study and family reunification, and they come with a feature that saves clients money: Ukraine has legal assistance treaties with both, so some documents are accepted WITHOUT an apostille — a properly certified translation is enough. This does not cover every document or every authority, so we check the specific case rather than recommending an apostille just in case. In Estonia official translations are made by a vandetõlk, a sworn translator; in Lithuania a translation is usually certified by a notary.

Frequently asked questions
Can an apostille really be skipped?
Often, yes. Ukraine has legal assistance treaties with Lithuania and Estonia, and documents within their scope are accepted without an apostille. The scope does not cover every document or situation, so we check the specific case: an unnecessary apostille wastes money and time, while a missing one where it is required means a failed submission.
What is a vandetõlk?
A sworn translator in Estonia who certifies a translation with their own seal. Estonian authorities usually require one for official submissions.
