The AHV number (Alters- und Hinterlassenenversicherung) is Liechtenstein's social insurance number, assigned to all employed residents and used for pension, disability insurance, and social security contributions. It is issued by the AHV-IV-FAK Administration (Liechtensteinische AHV-IV-FAK-Anstalten) and is assigned automatically when your employer registers your employment. This guide explains how the AHV number is assigned, contribution rates for employees and employers, how to access your AHV account, and social insurance entitlements for EEA citizens working in Liechtenstein.
