'vorliegend' and 'vorgelegt' often refer to documents, records, or evidence. 'vorliegend' describes something that is currently present or available and is being used as a basis, for example in a report or application. 'vorgelegt', on the other hand, emphasizes that someone has shown something to another person or office, or submitted it for review. The words can be confused because both appear in formal texts. A practical tip: 'vorliegend' means more like 'available here', while 'vorgelegt' means more like 'someone has submitted or presented it'.
