Acquiring Luxembourgish nationality by option
Last update
Luxembourgish nationality can be assigned to non-Luxembourgish nationals by option. This grants the person in question all the rights and obligations associated with being a Luxembourgish national. The option procedure does not have any retroactive effect.
Acquiring Luxembourgish nationality by option is possible in 10 specific cases.
The forms listed in the 'Online services and forms' section are to be submitted in person to the commune of residence, together with all other legally required documents. If the applicant lives broad, the application must be presented to the civil registrar of the City of Luxembourg.
Who is concerned?
Any non-Luxembourgish person who meets the conditions listed below can acquire the Luxembourgish nationality by option.
The option procedure is open:
- to adults with a parent, adoptive parent or grandparent who is or was Luxembourgish (case no. 1); or
- to parents of a Luxembourgish minor (case no. 2); or
- in the event of marriage to a Luxembourgish national (case no. 3); or
- to persons born in Luxembourg, over the age of 12 (case no. 4); or
- to adults having completed 7 years of schooling in Luxembourg (case no. 5); or
- to adults residing legally in Luxembourg for at least 20 years (case no. 6); or
- to adults having fulfilled the obligations arising from the Welcome and Integration Contract, respectively the introductory modules to life in Luxembourg, organised as part of the citizens' pact for intercultural living together (case 7); or
- to adults who settled in Luxembourg before the age of 18 (case no. 8); or
- to adults with stateless person status, with refugee status or with subsidiary protection status (case no. 9); or
- to volunteer soldiers (case no. 10).
If none of these situations applies to the applicant, they may instead be able to submit an application for naturalisation or reclaim their Luxembourgish nationality.
Applicants can determine which nationality acquisition procedure applies to their case with the help of a decision tree (Pdf, 1.03 Mb).

- if the applicant has made false statements, concealed important information or acted fraudulently during the option procedure; or
- if the applicant has received, either in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg or abroad:
- a criminal sentence or a custodial sentence of 12 months or more; or
- a suspended sentence of 24 months or more.
The facts underlying a foreign conviction must also constitute a criminal offence under Luxembourg law and, if applicable and except in the case of rehabilitation, the sentence must have been definitively served less than 15 years before the option declaration.
Costs
The option procedure is free of charge.
However, the preparation of certain documents to be produced as part of the option procedure may incur charges, the amount of which is set by the issuing authority. For example:
- Luxembourg communes may request the payment of a communal tax in exchange for preparing copies of marital status records;
- foreign authorities may apply a charge for the issuance of marital status records or extracts from the criminal record.
How to proceed
Submitting an option declaration to the civil registrar
Applications to acquire Luxembourgish nationality by option are made to the civil registrar of the commune of the applicant's usual place of residence.
If the applicant does not live in Luxembourg, the application must be made to the civil registrar of the City of Luxembourg.
The applicant must appear in person before the civil registrar. They may be accompanied by a person of their choice.
The option declaration must be signed by the applicant or their legal representative.
If the application is for a child under the age of 18 (case no. 4), the minor and their legal representatives must appear in person and sign the option declaration jointly.
Signature by proxy is not permitted.
If the legal conditions are met and if the application contains all the necessary documentation , the civil registrar will record the option declaration.
If the application submitted is incomplete, the civil registrar will request that the applicant produce the missing documents. If the documents are not submitted within a period of 3 months, the application will not be considered.
The civil registrar can refuse to register the declaration. In this case, an appeal against this decision can be made to the Minister of Justice within one month of notification of this refusal. If the appeal is rejected by the Minister, a reversal on appeal may be petitioned before the administrative tribunal.
As a general rule, the person in question is notified of the option declaration by the civil registrar by post. The date on which Luxembourgish nationality was acquired is stated on the option declaration.
Supporting documents to be submitted with the application
Prior to applying for the option declaration, the applicant must submit the following documents to the civil registrar:
- a full copy of their birth certificate and, if necessary, that of their children under 18;
- a copy of their valid passport and, where appropriate, that of their children aged under 18. If they do not have a passport, another identity or travel document may be provided;

- in the foreign country or countries of which the applicant is or was a national;

- if applicable, authorisation of the judge supervising guardianship to initiate an option procedure;
- if applicable, the decision of the Minister granting an exemption to submit any of the required documents. This exemption can be obtained upon reasoned request from the Minister of Justice, who has sole authority to grant it.
If a required document has not been drafted in French, German, English or Luxembourgish, the applicant must submit it with a translation in one of these languages. The translation must be performed by sworn translator or by a foreign public authority.
By signing the biographical questionnaire, the candidate authorises the Ministry of Justice to apply for the candidate's criminal record no. 2 to the Public Prosecutor's Office.
Record no. 2 of the criminal record is not required where the person applying for the option procedure has not yet reached the age of 18.
Other documents have to be attached depending on the case.

Review of the application by the Ministry of Justice

If the minister has no objection to the option declaration, the applicant will acquire Luxembourgish nationality after a period of 4 months from receipt of the application by the Ministry of Justice.
If this is not the case, the minister may impose the measures outlined below.
Cancellation of the option declaration
The option declaration will be cancelled by the minister:
- if the civil registrar has recorded the option declaration in violation of the law; or
- if the applicant has made false statements, concealed important information or acted fraudulently.
The option declaration may be cancelled within the period of 4 months following the receipt of the application by the Ministry of Justice.
Cancellation of the option declaration means that the person in question does not obtain Luxembourgish nationality.
The civil registrar who recorded the option declaration will inform the person concerned.
In the case of false statements, concealment of important information or fraud, the cancellation of the option declaration is accompanied by a ban on initiating a naturalisation, option or reclamation procedure for a period of 15 years.
The ministerial decision to cancel the option declaration may be subject to a reversal on appeal petitioned before the administrative tribunal within a period of 3 months from notification of the decision. The appeal must be lodged by a court lawyer.
Correction of the option declaration
The minister will instruct the civil registrar to correct the option declaration in the event of a purely clerical error or omission, the indication of an inappropriate legal basis or an error regarding the marital status of the applicant.
The correction shall by made through an annotation on the option declaration.
