Lietuvos Respublikos Seimo kanceliarija, Teisės aktų informacinė sistema (e-seimas)

Cannot be cited for

**The consolidations are a statutory product of the register and are not themselves the official publication of the act.** Article 19(3) of the Teisėkūros pagrindų įstatymas says that registration and publication of a legal act in the Register of Legal Acts information system is deemed the official publication of the act - of the act, not of a consolidation of it. Article 2(5) defines a consolidated version as a text prepared on the basis of the official text of the original act and the official texts of the acts amending it, which makes it derivative by definition, and article 6(6) makes the Seimas Chancellery, as the Register's data manager, responsible for preparing and publishing it properly and gives it 5 or 10 working days to do so. So these are consolidations prepared under a statutory duty by the body legally accountable for them and published in the official register - stronger than the informative consolidations of Slovakia or Romania - but nothing in the statute calls a consolidated version authentic, and the legal force is in the act as registered. **This is also not the Register itself.** The Teisės aktų registras has its own public interface at www.e-tar.lt, which from this infrastructure answers every request with a Cloudflare interstitial rather than a page, so the register's own copy could not be read and every Lithuanian reading here is the Seimas Chancellery's. **A consolidation that is in force is not the only one published.** e-seimas serves future consolidations alongside the current one - on 10 October 2026 the Aliens Act had editions dated 2026-11-01 and 2027-01-01 already on the site, the income tax law had one for 2027-01-01 - so reading the newest edition rather than the one whose window contains today gives next year's law. **The extraction inserts spaces inside the publisher's numbering**: a paragraph marked '1.' arrives as '1 .', and article 44-1 arrives as '44 1'. Quotations here are taken from the stored text and carry those spaces; they are an artefact of our reading, not of the publisher. **Amendment annotations are interleaved with the text**, so a quotation that crosses a paragraph boundary picks up lines of the form 'Straipsnio dalies pakeitimai: Nr. XIII-2348, 2019-07-16, paskelbta TAR 2019-07-29'. It cannot be cited for anything the Collection does not carry: the amount of subsistence funds a residence permit requires, which article 27 of the Aliens Act leaves to an order of the Minister of Social Security and Labour; the annual immigration quota, which article 57-1 leaves to the same minister; the average monthly gross wage every salary threshold is measured against, which the State Data Agency publishes; the maximum basic-account fee, which the Bank of Lithuania recalculates every three years; the list of target territories behind article 4(4) of the income tax law; or anything about how the Migration Department actually decides, which is published, where it is published at all, on migracija.lrv.lt.
