A lich would usually be a very skilled mage before their transformation, thus they'd most likely have access to various illusion spells to disguise themself.

In any case, a lich template without Unkillable 2/3 (potentially with a Gadget modifier) or Supernatural Durability seems flawed to me. And yes, there's certainly room for various flawed versions of lichdom, but in my mind a true lich has transcended death from anything that doesn't specifically target them or a vulnerability they possess.
