In Lithuania, the rates for notary services are set by the state and regularly updated. The services of notaries are necessary when it is necessary to approve documents or perform certain legal actions, for example, when concluding real estate purchase and sale agreements, inheritance cases, approval of divorce agreements and others. New rates set by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Lithuania entered into force in 2023.

For example, the cost of basic services, such as approval of a real estate purchase and sale agreement, now depends on the amount of the contract: the higher the amount, the higher the notary fee. However, there are also minimum fees that apply for various notary services. This is to ensure that all people can use the services of notaries at an affordable price. Notary services are subject to VAT (value added tax), so the final price of notary services may be higher.

Seimas in 2022 December 20 adopted amendments to the Law on Notary of the Republic of Lithuania, which established that the amount of remuneration for the performance of notarial acts and the cases of exemption from its payment shall be determined by the Government in accordance with its approved methodology for determining notary remuneration amounts (rates).
