How to search

Start with company search and jurisdictionCode: "li". Pass the name as companyName. Liechtenstein takes no other search criteria.

Examples

{  "jurisdictionCode": "li",  "advancedQuery": {    "name": "Hilti"  }}

The same query also matches HILTI FOUNDATION.

Company identifiers

Liechtenstein has no number-based search: find a company by name, then use the kausateId search returns. These schemes label the values that come back in a company’s identifiers.

Identifier	Appears as	Format
Liechtenstein FL-Nummer Liechtenstein Commercial Register entity number (e.g., FL-0001.011.557-0)	`li_fl_number`	`^FL-\d{4}\.\d{3}\.\d{3}-\d$`

Identifier notes

A Liechtenstein FL-Nummer can be written several ways — with its usual dots and dash (FL-0001.011.557-0), as one unbroken run of eleven digits, or with any mix of separators — and all are treated as the same identifier. What has to match is the eleven digits themselves, not the punctuation around them.

Local notes

Gotchas

Trap	What happens
Name search only	Company search only supports name — there is no FL-Nummer field. If you already have the FL-Nummer, request the company report directly instead of searching.
Branch legal form is text	A foreign branch's legal-form field carries no structured code — just text on whether the parent is inside or outside the EEA. Check the parent's own record for the branch's actual entity type.
No capital or purpose	Company reports never include share capital or business purpose — both fields are always empty, not a data gap for a particular company.
Status lives in the name	No separate status field exists — liquidation, bankruptcy, or a related court proceeding appears as a suffix on the registered name (e.g. "... in Liquidation") that's part of the legal name, so don't strip it.
Live alias versus former name	An active company can show two names at once — a legal name plus a live alias, often a foreign-language rendering, not a former name. Check each entry's type: a live alias and a former name can both appear.
Care-of is a mailing address	An address with a care-of ("c/o") party is a mailing address, not the registered one. A company can have both on file — check for "c/o" before treating an address as the registered office.

Glossary

Term	Meaning
`aktiv`	The status value you'll see for a Liechtenstein company that is not in liquidation, bankruptcy, or a court-supervised insolvency procedure — i.e. in good standing.
`in Liquidation`	The company is winding up.
`in Konkurs`	The company is in formal bankruptcy proceedings.
`in Nachlassliquidation`	A court-related liquidation proceeding — Kausate reports it with the same status as a Konkurs (bankruptcy).
