Certificate Apostille for Liechtenstein
Overview
If you’re planning to move to Liechtenstein for education, employment, family reunion, marriage, or business ventures, then getting your Indian documents apostilled is a mandatory legal step. Since Liechtenstein is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention (1961), there is no requirement for embassy-level attestation. All you need is an apostille certificate issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India.
This guide provides detailed information on the apostille process for Liechtenstein-bound documents, covering personal, educational, and commercial document legalization.

Apostille Procedure for Indian Personal Documents (For Use in Liechtenstein)
The apostille process for personal documents in India intended for Liechtenstein includes the following four stages:
- Initial Local Verification
Documents are verified by the respective issuing authority:- Educational Certificates: Verified by the school or university
- Divorce Documents: Verified by the issuing court
- Marriage Certificates: Verified by the marriage registrar
- Birth Certificates: Verified by the municipal birth registrar
- Death Certificates: Verified by the registrar of births and deaths
- Notary Attestation
After initial verification, documents are authenticated by a Notary Public or Collector’s Office. A legal stamp and signature are added to confirm verification, preparing the document for further attestation. - SDM or State Attestation
- State Attestation: Done by the state where the document originated. It is detailed but time-consuming, taking up to 30 working days.
- SDM Attestation: Faster and generally accepted by Hague countries. The Sub Divisional Magistrate reviews and attests within 3–5 working days.
- Final MEA Apostille
The Ministry of External Affairs authenticates and stamps the apostille on the document, completing the legalization for the Liechtenstein.
To understand which path (SDM or State) suits your document type, it’s best to consult with an apostille service provider.
Apostille Process for Business/Commercial Documents for the Liechtenstein
Commercial documents being used in Liechtenstein go through a slightly different process:
- Local Document Verification
Business-related documents (such as GST, AOA, MOU, registration certificates) are verified by the issuing regulatory authority, usually the Registrar of Companies. - Chamber of Commerce Authentication
Once verified, the documents are further reviewed by the relevant Chamber of Commerce, which confirms their accuracy and endorses them for apostille. - MEA Apostille on Commercial Papers
MEA applies the apostille, officially legalizing your documents for use in Liechtenstein for activities such as company formation, trade, or opening corporate bank accounts.
Note: Documents should be clean, unaltered, and clearly legible for successful apostille processing.
Validity of Liechtenstein Apostille
While the apostille itself has no official expiration date, most institutions in Liechtenstein prefer documents that were apostilled within the last 3–6 months. It’s advisable to check the validity requirements with the receiving body in Liechtenstein for specific timelines.
Embassy Legalization Required for Liechtenstein
No. Since Liechtenstein is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, there is no requirement to approach the Liechtenstein Embassy or Consulate in India. Once MEA has apostilled your documents, they are fully valid and acceptable in Liechtenstein.
How Long Does Liechtenstein Certificate Apostille Take?
The entire process can take anywhere from 7 to 20 business days, depending on:
- Type and number of documents
- Origin of the document (state of issuance)
- Whether HRD attestation is needed
- Embassy processing time
- Selection of regular or urgent processing
Opting for a professional agency can often speed up the timeline.
