You do not have to be a Liechtenstein resident or business operator to register a .LI domain.

Leap year registrations
If you register a .LI domain on February 29, the expiry date is set to February 28.
DNS requirements
The domain name and nameserver details are transferred to the zone file within 24 hours, after which time the domain name becomes active.
Any modifications to the DNS must be confirmed by the registrant. The registry sends an email that must be responded to in order for the modification to be completed.
Renewals
By default, .LI domains are auto-renewed 2 days before the expiry date; therefore, to cancel auto-renew, you must change the setting at least 2 days prior to the expiry date.
If not set to auto-renew, .LI domains must be renewed at least one day prior to the expiry date. If not renewed by one day prior to the expiry date, the domain is removed from OpenSRS. After the domain expires, you have two weeks in which to restore the name. To restore an expired .LI name, the registrant must submit a signed request printed on the registrant's letterhead.

Transfers
Authcodes are required for .LI transfers. The registrant can obtain the Authorization Code or 'Authcode' from the SWITCH registry or the SWITCH partner through which the domain is registered.
There is no change to the expiry date unless the transfer date is less than 30 days from the current expiry date, in which case, the name is renewed and one year is added to the registration term. The cost of the renewal is charged once the transfer completes.
If you need the Authcode for a .LI domain that is registered with OpenSRS, email helpdesk@itristanmedia.com.
Registrar, registrant transfers and ALL modifications (DNS, contact changes, etc) require confirmation from the registrant, either by replying to a confirmation email from the registry, or with a fax confirmation on their company letterhead.

Changes of ownership
There is no charge for registrant transfers, and the registration term does not change.
