# Lithuanian legal form code (`lt_legal_form_code`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Three-digit code of the legal form (teisinė forma) of a legal entity in the Lithuanian Register of Legal Entities (JAR) of the State Enterprise Centre of Registers, as in its open data: 310 for a private limited company (UAB), 320 for a public limited company (AB), 570 for a public institution (VšĮ) and 960 for a small partnership (MB). The digits alone are other numbers too, so the field name is the evidence.
