Will it be necessary to contact the Lithuanian Embassy, for example, or does a simple translation suffice?

Hi Jack,
This looks like a good starting point for establishing equivalence: https://ec.europa.eu/ploteus/search/site?f[0]=im_field_entity_type:97
The 'Compare national qualifications frameworks' link can be used to generate a side-by-side comparison of Lithuanian and UK qualifications with examples at each level.

Hi Jack,
In my time, I had to do the quality assessment for my diploma in Law; there is a special entity referred above for that and still funcyions, just checked their site, the English version:

If you need any further help, just tell.
When I translate diplomas, I never ask embassies, no need for that unless you want to certify the translation pecifically by the consular department. ▲ Collapse

| Equivalency evaluation is usually not the translator's job | Nov 30, 2015 |
Here, in the US, there are specific companies who evaluate foreign diplomas/degrees and determine the closest equivalent in the US system. This may be necessary for immigration purposes, for example for working visas. They sometimes ask for the transcript as well, to see what subjects were taught in how many hours.
