deklaracijos

Deklaracijos is a Lithuanian term that refers to formal statements, declarations, or documents that declare facts, intentions, rights, or statuses. The word comes from Latin declaratio and is used in various contexts to denote official or semi-official declarations issued by individuals, organizations, or authorities.

In legal and administrative contexts, a deklaracija is a formal statement of facts or claims, often sworn or attested, used to establish rights, obligations, or eligibility. Common examples include personal income tax declarations (gyventojų pajamų deklaracija), customs declarations (muitinės deklaracija), and other statutory declarations made to state or local authorities. Declarations are typically filed during procedures such as tax assessments, border control, or civil registration, and inaccuracies can carry penalties or legal consequences.

In political and historical contexts, the term is used for public statements of policy, ideology, or national identity. Lithuanian history includes examples described as deklaracijos or nepriklausomybės deklaracijos (declarations of independence), which articulate a state’s principles or aims. Declarations can also appear as manifestos or formal statements by organizations or movements.

In archival, bibliographic, and administrative practices, deklaracijos are documents that record statements of fact, agreements, or commitments. The exact form, required content, and legal validity of a deklaracija depend on the applicable laws and the issuing authority. Overall, deklaracijos function as instruments to articulate and formalize claims, obligations, or identities within legal, political, and administrative systems.
