How to apply for the issuance or replacement of an identity document for a minor under 16?

• Applications for the replacement or issuance of a personal identity card or passport for a minor under 16 must be submitted by one of their parents or guardians visiting the embassy in person.
• If the child is between 0 and 2 years old, it is not mandatory to bring the child to the embassy.
• If the child is older than 2 years, they must be present at the time of application submission.
• Prior to your arrival, an advance appointment must be booked via the KONSREG system.
• Note: If the child has already turned 12, their fingerprints will be scanned during the application process. If the child has turned 14, they will also need to sign.

Documents Required for Minors Under 16

• A prescribed-form application (which will be provided upon arrival at the embassy).
• The passport or personal identity card of the parent or guardian submitting the application on behalf of the child.
• The child’s previously issued Republic of Lithuania passport or personal identity card, if applicable.
• If the child is between 0 and 2 years old, you must bring two passport-sized color photographs (4 x 6 cm). If applying for the issuance of a first passport or personal identity card (regardless of the child's age), you must also bring two passport-sized color photographs matching the child’s current age. In all other cases, photographs are not required—the minor will be photographed on-site.
• The minor's place of residence must be declared abroad (the residence declaration can also be completed during the visit).
• If the application is submitted by a legal guardian rather than a parent, a court order confirming the appointment of guardianship must be additionally provided.
• Attention: When applying for the first Republic of Lithuania citizen passport or personal identity card for a child born abroad, documents regarding the registration of the child's birth in the Republic of Lithuania must be submitted concurrently. If the child's birth has already been registered in Lithuania, no additional documents are required.
• Note: If necessary, a consular officer has the right to require the applicant to submit additional documents and/or clarify the provided data.
