I moved — how and where do I register my new address?

Direct answer

Registering your address is compulsory within a short deadline after moving (days to weeks, depending on the country) and everything official flows from it: the ID number, tax, voting, health insurance, school places. Register at Registrų centras / seniūnija — gyvenamosios vietos deklaravimas (8 5 268 8262) — online with a digital ID in many countries, otherwise at Savivaldybė — viešosios tvarkos skyrius (lsa.lt) — with ID and proof of the new address (rental contract, deed, or the landlord's or host's declaration). VMI — skundas / mokestinės paskolos (1882) and the other agencies are informed automatically in most countries — but check your tax and benefit accounts after a few weeks.
