Conclude purchase-sale contract.

Since the vehicle is registered abroad, it will not have the owner declaration code (SDK). Therefore, before importing the vehicle to the territory of Lithuania you need to apply to "Regitra", declare the purchase of the vehicle and obtain the SDK for the first time.

 

This can be done in two ways:

 

• Online

In submitting the declaration of acquisition, the purchase-sale contract has to be attached, the SDK and other necessary information has to be specified.

Submit

 

• At the branch

This can be done, for example, through an authorized person.
