Legal work with children under 18 years of age
In accordance with the Law on the Fundamentals of Child Protection of the Republic of Lithuania, individuals must obtain a legal work with children code (QR code) if they have contact with children under 18 years of age in their professional activities or during their internship, traineeship, or studies. A valid code for legal work with children ensures that the person is not subject to the restrictions on working with children established by law.
1. Am I required to obtain a QR code?
A QR code is required both when organizing and participating in University or partner events, projects, or other activities if there is direct contact with children under the age of 18 during the activity. If you do not have contact with children under the age of 18 during the activity, a QR code is not required.
2. Does the University regulate legal work with children?
The provisions of the Mykolas Romeris University Child Protection Policy, approved by the Rector’s Order No. 1I-276 of October 22, 2025, are available here.
3. Where can I get a QR code?
Important: lecturers who are registered in the Teachers’ Register are automatically assigned a QR code. All other employees can obtain a QR code or check whether their code is valid here.
4. Is the QR code issued to foreign citizens?
Foreign citizens living and working in Lithuania, doing internships, volunteering, and studying at the University must submit to the University a QR code generated in Lithuania and a document issued by the competent authorities of the foreign country of which they are citizens or in which they have their permanent residence, confirming that they have not been convicted of criminal offenses involving children under the age of 18. Foreign citizens can order the QR code electronically via the Electronic Services Portal or by submitting a paper application to the reception of the Information and Communications Department of the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Lithuania at Šventaragio g. 2, Vilnius, by phone +370 5 271 7256.
5. Who can I contact if I have any questions?
Please contact Anželika Vėžienė, Head of the HR Employee Activities Department, via email anzelika.veziene@mruni.eu or by phone at 0 613 91746.
