Apostille
Lithuania: an apostille is required
One apostille stamp obtained in Russia is enough. No consulate is involved. The treaty on legal assistance with Lithuania has been denounced: the Seimas voted on 25 June 2024 and the treaty ceased to be in force on 21 January 2025, so an apostille is now required.
