Below you will find the most important information about obtaining a driver’s medical certificate in Lithuania as a foreign national.

Eligibility and registration

Can a foreign national obtain a driver’s medical certificate in Lithuania?

Yes. Foreign nationals living or studying in Lithuania may obtain a driver’s medical certificate.

You may be asked to provide:

• proof of your declared place of residence in Lithuania;

• a valid Lithuanian residence permit;

• a code issued by the Territorial Health Insurance Fund;

• additional medical documents requested by the clinic.

The exact requirements may depend on your personal situation and the clinic you choose.

Can I complete the medical examination if I am not registered with that clinic?

Yes. You may book the examination at any participating clinic, even if you are not registered there as a patient.

However, the clinic’s ability to obtain additional medical records, particularly psychiatric records, may depend on whether you are registered with a Lithuanian healthcare institution.

Do I need Lithuanian compulsory health insurance (PSD)?

No. Compulsory health insurance is not required because the driver’s medical examination is a paid service.

You may also obtain the certificate if you have an outstanding PSD debt.

Psychiatric certificate

Can I order a psychiatric certificate if I am a foreign national?

Yes, but the clinic can order this additional certificate on your behalf only if you are registered with a Lithuanian healthcare institution, such as a polyclinic.

If you are not registered with a healthcare institution in Lithuania, the clinic will not be able to order the psychiatric certificate for you.

What should I do if the clinic cannot obtain my psychiatric records?

You may need to obtain the required certificate from a Mental Health Centre yourself before your medical examination.

The clinic may request information confirming whether you have been registered for psychiatric treatment during the previous five years. After booking your appointment, the clinic will confirm which documents are required in your particular case.

Required documents

What documents should I bring to the appointment?

Please bring:

• a valid passport or identity card;

• your Lithuanian residence permit, if applicable;

• your current driving licence, if you already have one;

• any additional medical certificates requested by the clinic.

The doctor may request further information from your family doctor, psychiatrist, addiction specialist or another healthcare professional.

Examination and certificate

What happens during the medical examination?

The doctor will review your medical information and assess whether your health meets the requirements for driving.

The examination usually takes approximately 30 minutes. If necessary, the doctor may request additional examinations, tests or specialist consultations.

How long does it take to receive the certificate?

If the clinic needs to obtain additional medical records, the process usually takes approximately 1–6 working days. The clinic will contact you to confirm the appointment or request additional documents.

The final processing time depends on the clinic and your individual medical situation.

Will I receive a paper certificate?

The driver’s medical certificate is normally issued electronically. It is uploaded to the Lithuanian e-health system and automatically transferred to “Regitra”.

A paper certificate is generally not required. You can view the issued certificate by signing in to the Lithuanian e-health system.

Is the certificate valid for every driving category?

The certificate is valid only for the driving categories listed on it.

When booking your examination, specify all categories that you currently hold or plan to obtain. If a required category is not listed, you may need to complete another medical examination.

Will my personal information remain confidential?

Your personal and medical information is transferred only to the clinic providing the service. The clinic is responsible for processing and protecting the information in accordance with applicable data-protection and medical-confidentiality requirements.
