A1 certificate
The A1 certificate confirms that an employee posted to another EU/EEA country or Switzerland remains insured in Lithuania and no social security contributions are due there. We prepare the application to Sodra and make sure the certificate is issued on time.
Without an A1 — fines and double contributions
Foreign authorities ask to see the A1 certificate during inspections. Without it, the employee may become subject to that country’s social security law, and the company may face fines.
- When posting employees to construction, transport, installation and other work abroad
- For drivers working in several countries
- For managers and self-employed persons active in several states
From application to certificate
Application to Sodra
We prepare and submit the application through Sodra’s electronic system and attach the required documents.
Compliance check
Before filing we assess whether the company and the employee meet the conditions: activity in Lithuania, insurance period, length of posting.
Deadlines and extension
The certificate is usually issued within a few working days and is valid for the posting period (up to 24 months). We take care of extensions or a new certificate.
