Bond creditors: Resolutions of a creditors' meeting (§ 142 SchlT PGR)

Other authentications

Exception: authentications without reference to company law (e.g. agreement as to forum) - these authentications are performed by the Court of Justice.

Public authentication and certification

The "public authentication" of an occurrence or a declaration contains not only the preparation of the public document, but also the recording of legally-relevant facts or legal declarations by a person entrusted by the state, in the manner required by the state and in the procedure provided for this purpose (definition of the Swiss Federal Court), whereby public authentication is usually a requirement of validity.

On the other hand, the certification is a formal requirement for the registration or deposit with the Commercial Register. Here, only the authenticity of the signature is certified by persons authorised to certify.

The Office of Justice does not draw up deeds or contracts, except drawing up the public deeds required by law and providing assistance with the submission.

If required, please contact the Liechtenstein Bar Association or the Liechtenstein Chamber of Trustees.
