So, I’ve been meaning to share this for a while, and I finally got around to doing it. I needed a Lithuanian ID card, and I didn’t really want to go through all the usual official channels, you know? It’s a hassle, and honestly, I just wanted a quicker way. I figured there must be some service online that can handle this, and there are! I just needed to find something trustworthy.
First, I spent a good chunk of time just looking around online. I mean, I wanted to get this done, but not at the expense of getting scammed or something. I saw some websites that talked about different kinds of documents, like the Lithuanian Alien’s Passport, the Diplomatic Passport, and even a Temporary Passport. It was a bit overwhelming, to be honest.
Eventually, I found a few places that seemed legit. They had some information about what an ID card actually is in Lithuania, like how it’s supposed to confirm your identity and citizenship. It also mentioned that every Lithuanian citizen who is 16 years old and doesn’t have an old passport needs to get one. That’s the kind of basic stuff that made me feel a bit more comfortable.

Then I started digging deeper. There was one website, “*”, that seemed to be an official student website or something. There you could upload a photo and some other personal details. I guess it’s for students to get their official student ID. It’s probably a legit way to get an ID, but I wasn’t really looking for a student ID. Also, there was this website talking about the Lithuanian E-Government Gateway, it was complicated.
After a lot more searching, I finally decided on a service. It was not easy to find a good one! The process was surprisingly straightforward. I filled out a form with my details and uploaded a photo. It felt a bit weird, but I made sure the photo was decent. I mean, it’s going to be on an ID card, right?
I sent in my payment after filling everything out. I was not sure what to do. It was a bit of a waiting game after that. But hey, it was still faster than dealing with the government, I figured. Finally, the ID card arrived. It looked pretty good, all things considered. It had my photo on it, all the right details, and it even had some sort of chip inside, which I guess is standard for Lithuanian IDs now.
Honestly, the whole thing was way easier than I expected. It’s kind of wild that you can just get an ID card online like that. I’m not saying everyone should do it this way, but if you need an ID card quickly and don’t want to go through the bureaucracy, it’s definitely an option.
Here are some of the things I learned:
- Getting an ID online is possible: It seems crazy, but it’s true.
- It’s faster than the official way: At least it was for me.
- You need to be careful: There are a lot of scams out there.
- The ID will probably have a chip: Apparently, that’s the norm now.
- It feels a bit strange: But it gets the job done.
My conclusion?
If you’re in a bind and need a Lithuanian ID card fast, going online might be your best bet. Just do your research, be cautious, and don’t expect it to be a walk in the park. It’s a bit of a gray area, but it worked for me.
