Voluntary and athletic career
Active in the Liechtenstein scout movement at a young age, in 1941 he was a member of the committee that was responsible for organizing the National Youth Games on the occasion of the ten-year existence of the movement.

Political career
Verling's father was a founding member of the Progressive Citizens' Party (FBP) and was very active in the party. Accordingly, he himself decided to follow his father's example. From 1948 to 1965 he was a member of the Vaduz municipal council and from 1960 to 1965 he was Deputy Mayor of Vaduz. As president of the press association, he directed the fortunes of the Liechtensteiner Volksblatt .
In 1970 he was elected to the state parliament . There he campaigned for the creation of an incompatibility law that would forbid state officials to be members of the state parliament in the future. In his opinion, this was necessary because the Landtag had control over the state administration and without this law the separation of powers would be endangered. Verling, himself a civil servant, accordingly decided not to run again in 1974 and thus resigned from the state parliament.
