So far, the Residents' Register Service of the Republic of Lithuania was dependent on the Ministry of Interior.
Such a decision was made by the Government which started to strengthen the system of the unified registers.
"The majority of the state registers are subordinated to the institutions under the Ministry of Justice. As a result, as soon as the Residents' Register Service becomes subordinated to the Ministry of Justice, it will be easier to more efficiently control the state's registers, to improve and to develop their interaction and the integrity and, at the same time, to create more favourable conditions for the creation of the electronic public services for the citizens and the business," said Minister of Justice Juozas Bernatonis.
