Extracts / Certificates
The Office of Justice issues extracts from the Register of Beneficial Owners and certificates of registration in the Register of Beneficial Owners to legal entities upon application and payment of a fee.
Orders for the issuance of extracts and certificates must be submitted in original to the Office of Justice by using the corresponding official forms.
Forms
Note: The processing of orders for extracts and certificates - after receipt of the original order form at the Office of Justice - usually takes five to ten business days. In the event of an increased workload, the processing of orders may be delayed. If the chosen delivery method is "pick-up at the counter", the Office of Justice recommends that you call (+423 236 71 46) or send an E-mail (info.vwb.aju@llv.li) after five business days to inquire whether the extract or certificate is ready for pick-up at Kirchstrasse 8, 9490 Vaduz.
Administrative Practice
- If an application/order is signed by a legal entity as a member of the executive body, the name/company name/designation of the legal entity as well as the first and last names of the person signing for the legal entity must be entered readable either as digital text in the computer printout or in capital letters if the document is filled out by hand. This serves to allocate the signature to a person and to verify the power of representation/legitimacy to file an application.
- Legitimacy to file an application: In order to verify the legitimacy to file an application, the Office of Justice, Foundation Supervision and Anti-Money Laundering, verifies the signature authority of the applicant recorded in the Commercial Register and carries out a comparison of the signature with the signature on the declaration of acceptance and company signature deposited with the Commercial Register or an equivalent document.
If the legitimacy of application cannot be fully established by the aforementioned verification/comparison, the Office of Justice, Foundation Supervision and Anti-Money Laundering, may obtain further documents, in particular:
- a certified extract from the Commercial Register or a comparable register;
- a certified copy of a valid official identification document containing a photograph (passport, identity card) of the signing person;
- a certified excerpt from a trustworthy, privately managed register or an equivalent database;
- a certified power of attorney.
