Leidimo

Leidimo is the genitive singular form of the Lithuanian noun leidimas, meaning permission or authorization. In usage, leidimas refers to an official grant that allows a person or organization to perform a defined activity or to access a resource. The concept is central in administrative and legal contexts, where permissions are issued by competent authorities and may be conditional.

Etymology: from the verb leisti, to allow. The noun expresses the act or result of allowing, and its phrases appear in many domains, for example leidimo sąlygos (conditions of permission) and leidimo laikotarpis (period of validity).

Scope and examples: permits regulate activities by law and policy. Typical categories include construction or development permits, business licenses, entry permissions to restricted areas, and import/export authorizations. In digital contexts, permissions also appear as licenses to use works, software, or data, often under specified licenses.

Process: obtaining leidimo usually involves submitting an application to the relevant authority, evaluation against requirements, and a formal decision. Permits may be issued with conditions, have a defined validity period, and require renewal. They can be revoked or suspended for non-compliance, and appeals may be possible.

Impact: possessing a permit is typically a prerequisite for lawful activity; operating without one, or beyond its conditions, can entail penalties or enforcement actions.
