Declaring your place of residence
After changing your home, arriving or returning to live in Lithuania, you must declare the new address within one month. You can do it online — via epaslaugos.lt or the Registrų centras self-service — or at the seniūnija. The service is free, and declaring is personal only.
Who this applies to
Step by step
Choose the channel
Online: epaslaugos.lt (the service “Gyvenamosios vietos deklaravimas Lietuvoje”) or in the Registrų centras self-service: Gyventojų registras → residence declaration services → “Keičiu gyvenamą vietą”. In person — at the seniūnija for your new address, with a passport or ID card.
Enter the exact address
The address must be exact — street plus house, block or flat number — and match the building's registered address. If you don't own the premises, the owner's (co-owners') consent is required; online it is also confirmed electronically.
Submit the declaration
The data is entered in the Population Register and used by state institutions. In complex cases (several co-owners, several buildings on a plot) the online system may reject the declaration — then go to the seniūnija.
