Request a medical certificate in Mauren online for CHF 34.99, with most cases decided the same day and the PDF sent directly to you. A registered doctor assesses what you report and issues a dated record of that assessment, which you can give to an employer, a school, a club, an insurer or an airline. It is supporting documentation only — Liechtenstein wage continuation and Krankentaggeld are administered by your employer and your insurer, and we file nothing on your behalf.

Medical Certificates in Mauren: Who Needs Them?
Mauren is an Unterland municipality of roughly 4,700 people, and it includes the village of Schaanwald in the north-east of the country, close to the Austrian border near Feldkirch. Schaanwald sits on the main road that links Liechtenstein westward to Buchs in Switzerland and eastward to Austria, which makes Mauren less a quiet residential commune than a place people pass through every working morning in both directions.
That geography puts the cross-border question at the centre of things here. Liechtenstein employed 43,441 people at the end of 2024, of whom 24,943 — 57.4% — commuted in from abroad, with roughly a third of those arriving from Austria. Many of them come through Schaanwald. The reverse is also true: Mauren residents work in Vorarlberg and in the Swiss Rheintal. In both directions the practical question is which system administers an absence, and the answer follows where you are employed and insured rather than which side of the border your house is on. It is a question with a definite answer — just not one we can give you.
For care, Mauren residents have the same national picture as everyone else: GP practices locally, and the Landesspital in Vaduz as the country's only hospital, with a 24-hour emergency department and referral onward to Swiss and Austrian hospitals for serious or specialised cases. Feldkirch, just across the border, has a substantial Austrian hospital, and cross-border referral is normal rather than exceptional. None of that, though, is organised around getting a certificate into an employer's hands by the end of the morning.
The uses people put a certificate to in Mauren are mostly unremarkable and worth saying plainly: documenting a short absence for an employer; a Return to Work assessment before resuming a physical or shift-based role; a fitness declaration for a sports club or an event; a Fit to Fly assessment before travel; a General Medical certificate for an insurer, a course or an application. Each is CHF 34.99. Choosing the type that matches what the recipient actually asked for is the single most useful thing you can do before you start.
The limits are the important part. A registered doctor reviews what you report and issues a dated PDF recording their assessment. We do not send it to your employer, to an insurer, to the Austrian ÖGK, to a Liechtenstein Krankenkasse or to any office, and the document does not by itself set any payment running. If you are employed across a border, that means your notification duties — to your employer and to whichever body insures you — still need doing, on time, by you.
Schaanwald, on the road to Austria
The village in Mauren sits on the main route linking Liechtenstein to Feldkirch in Austria and to Buchs in Switzerland — a crossing that thousands use daily in both directions.
Commuting works both ways
Around a third of Liechtenstein's inbound commuters come from Austria, many through here, while Mauren residents work in Vorarlberg and the Swiss Rheintal. Which system covers you follows your employment and insurance.
Cross-border care is normal
The Landesspital in Vaduz is the only hospital in Liechtenstein and refers complex cases onward, including to Austria. Feldkirch is close by — but neither is set up to produce same-day documentation.
Ordinary uses, clearly priced
Absence documentation, return-to-work assessment, sports and general fitness, airline clearance and general medical documentation — six types, each CHF 34.99, no premium tier.
Usually decided the same day
Submit during business hours and a decision normally comes back the same day, with the certificate delivered as a PDF you can forward or upload.
All Certificate Types Available in Liechtenstein
Every certificate type is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Liechtenstein. Choose the one that matches your situation, and if you're unsure, the assessment itself will ask enough questions to point you to the right type before you pay anything.
Sick Leave Certificate
For work absence support in Liechtenstein, generally aligned with Arztzeugnis documentation and AHV/IV-linked processes. Covers short and extended absences alike, provided the assessment supports it.
From CHF 34.99Sports Fitness Certificate
For clubs, gradings, and competitions in Liechtenstein that ask for a documented medical clearance before participation. Commonly requested ahead of contact sports and higher-intensity gradings.
From CHF 34.99General Fitness Certificate
For gym membership and personal training sign-up in Liechtenstein where a health declaration is requested by the facility. Also used for group class enrolment where operators ask for one.
From CHF 34.99General Medical Certificate
For insurance, legal, or general purposes in Liechtenstein where a doctor-issued statement is requested. The most flexible type for one-off requests.
From CHF 34.99How It Works in Mauren
Complete assessment
3-5 minutes. Select your certificate type, confirm Liechtenstein as your country, and answer relevant health questions covering your condition, the dates you need covered, and any employer or institution details you'd like included. No payment yet. You're only charged if a certificate is issued.
Doctor reviews your case
Reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Liechtenstein, generally during business hours (9am-6pm CET/CEST, Monday-Friday, aligned with the wider region). The doctor may request more information through the same portal, or in some cases advise that your situation needs an in-person examination.
Receive your PDF
Delivered the same day the doctor approves your case, as a PDF with the reviewing doctor's details and a verification reference your employer, club, or institution can scan to confirm authenticity directly.
Who Accepts a Medical Certificate in Mauren
Whether a document is accepted is the recipient's call. These are the settings where a dated registered-doctor assessment is normally what is wanted.
Liechtenstein employers
A dated certificate naming the assessing doctor is the ordinary form of absence documentation. Your contract and absence policy determine the deadline, the route and whether a certificate is needed at all for a short absence.
Austrian and Swiss employers of Mauren residents
Employers across both borders commonly accept a dated registered-doctor certificate as supporting documentation, but company policy and insurer requirements vary, and some require a certificate from within their own system. Confirm with HR first.
Clubs and event organisers
Sports Fitness certificates support registration and entry where a doctor's declaration is requested. Federations and larger events may impose their own protocol, which takes precedence.
Schools, colleges and course providers
General Medical certificates are used to support an absence from teaching or assessment. Each institution applies its own rules on evidence and deadlines.
Airlines and travel insurers
Fit to Fly certificates are used where a carrier requires clearance, and a dated assessment often supports a travel claim. Airlines and insurers each set their own requirements.
Not a cross-border benefit claim
Nothing we issue is transmitted to a social-security body in Liechtenstein, Austria or Switzerland, and nothing we issue triggers sick pay. Those steps stay with you and your employer.

Typical private consultation costs are a general range reported for Liechtenstein and Switzerland's shared pricing scale, and vary by practice and location.
The gap between our pricing and a typical private consultation mostly reflects the difference between booking an in-person appointment slot and completing an online assessment: you're paying for the doctor's review and the certificate itself, not a waiting room or receptionist time.
Given Liechtenstein's small size and close ties to the Swiss healthcare market, private consultation costs here sit at the higher end of the ranges seen across the countries we serve. Our online pricing follows the same scale used across our CHF-priced markets, and remains below the typical in-person range for every certificate type we offer here.
Prices for every certificate type are shown upfront before you start the assessment, and you are only charged once a doctor has actually reviewed and approved your case, not at the point of submitting your answers. This matters given how few alternatives sit within Liechtenstein itself, where many residents are already used to weighing whether a routine matter is worth an in-person visit or better handled another way.
Liechtenstein Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Mauren
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Mauren exactly as it does anywhere else in Liechtenstein.
Yes — you can get a medical certificate (doctor's note) in Liechtenstein online, reviewed by a registered doctor and usually issued the same day, from CHF 34.99. For most illness-related absence in Liechtenstein, you generally need an Arztzeugnis, typically issued by a doctor to document your condition, with related sickness benefit administration generally handled via the AHV/IV social insurance office. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes such as insurance applications, a separate certificate type generally applies: see the types below. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for Liechtenstein, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | Arztzeugnis (German): the same term used in Switzerland, since Liechtenstein's medical and administrative conventions closely follow Swiss and German-language practice |
|---|---|
| General timing / requirement | Generally expected to document illness-related absence from work or other obligations, though exact notification windows depend on the employer or institution involved |
| Who can generally issue it | Typically a doctor practising in or accepted within Liechtenstein |
| Submission timing | Generally expected to be communicated to your employer as soon as reasonably practicable, following that employer's own sickness policy; exact windows can vary by employer and sector |
| Related administration | Sickness-related benefit administration is generally handled via Liechtenstein's AHV/IV office (old-age, survivors', and disability insurance) |
| Governing framework | General Liechtenstein social insurance and sickness-absence practice, administered via AHV/IV; specific entitlements depend on your employment situation and the applicable scheme |
| Data protection law | Liechtenstein's own Data Protection Act (Datenschutzgesetz), applying EEA-aligned standards; Liechtenstein is an EEA member, not an EU member state, so EU GDPR does not apply directly here |
Note on cross-border cases: Because Liechtenstein's medical and administrative practice closely follows Swiss convention, employers or institutions with cross-border ties may ask questions specific to which country's system applies. Liechtenstein and Switzerland remain separate national systems, so confirm which country's specific rules apply if your situation crosses the border, and check current AHV/IV guidance directly for benefit-related questions, as procedures are reviewed periodically.

NIL Reg. #7741029Frequently Asked Questions
A dated certificate from a registered doctor is widely accepted as supporting documentation, and the document does not change according to which side of the border reads it. But employers differ, and some Austrian employers require documentation through their own arrangements or from a doctor in their own system. Ask your HR department specifically, before you need it.
You should not assume it does. Statutory sickness benefit in Austria runs through its own notification and certification arrangements, and an insurer generally wants documentation that fits those arrangements. We do not submit anything to the ÖGK and are not part of its process. If ÖGK benefit is what is at stake, contact them directly about what evidence they require and from whom.
Yes — there is no requirement to be in Liechtenstein when you submit, and travellers taken ill abroad are one of the more common cases. Do say where you are, because it can be relevant to what the doctor can reasonably assess and to what your employer or insurer will expect. If you need urgent care, get it locally first; the documentation can follow.
That is a clinical judgement based on what you report, not a fixed number. Short, defined periods are the normal outcome of a remote assessment; a doctor will not certify a long stretch they had no means of evaluating. If the absence looks likely to run on, plan on involving your GP rather than expecting one online certificate to cover it.
No. There is no residency or address requirement, which matters in a place like Mauren where a large share of the people working locally live in Austria or Switzerland. What you should get right is who the certificate is for and what they require — the recipient's rules are the binding constraint, not your postcode.
You need to give accurate personal details so the certificate identifies the right person, and those details appear on the document. It will not help you to submit under a different name or date of birth — a certificate that does not match your employment or insurance records is worse than none. Accuracy here is in your interest, not ours.
A General Medical certificate is the type that covers it, but check first, because many schools in Liechtenstein accept a written parental excuse for a short absence and do not require a doctor at all. Asking the class teacher or the school office takes a minute and may save you the fee entirely. Where the school does want medical documentation, remote assessment of a child has real limits and a doctor may direct you to a GP.
The CHF 34.99 covers the assessment and the certificate. If an employer queries the document itself, the verification reference and the named doctor on it are what they use to check it is genuine. What we cannot do is argue your case with your employer, advocate for you in an absence process or provide additional clinical justification on demand — that would be a different service from documenting an assessment.
Almost certainly not. Driving licence medicals are prescribed processes with their own forms, their own examinations and, often, designated examiners — including for professional categories where the requirements are stricter still. A general certificate does not satisfy a statutory licensing assessment. Ask the licensing office which route and which form applies to your category.
You can submit on any day, but cases are reviewed in business hours, so a submission on a public holiday is normally picked up on the next working day. Liechtenstein has a good number of public holidays, so it is worth checking the calendar if you are working to a deadline. Your duty to notify your employer of an absence is not suspended by a holiday.
