Consulting my personal data recorded in the National Registry of Natural Persons (RNPP)
Last update
Anyone listed in the National Registry of Natural Persons (Registre national des personnes physiques - RNPP) is entitled to consult their personal data.
Persons who have a national identification number (matricule - 13-digit social security number) in Luxembourg are listed in the RNPP.
Who is concerned
Applications to consult personal data can made by interested parties, their guardians, trustees, legal administrators, ad hoc administrators or special representatives.
If the interested party is a non-emancipated minor, the application must be made by a parent with parental authority or by the legal guardian.
If the application is not made in person but by a third party, a photocopy of the identity document of the person making the application and, where applicable, the authority on which they act, must be included with the application.
How to proceed
Objectives of the National registry of national persons
The purpose of the RNPP is to:
- group all data relating to the identification of natural persons (residents or non-residents) who are in contact with a Luxembourg government administration department;
- serve as the basis for the production of official documents, including travel documents, identity documents, residence permits, driving licenses and other administrative documents;
- guarantee the unique and unambiguous nature of the national identification number assigned to a natural person;
- retain a record of any updates to the personal data of a natural person.
It has enabled substantial progress to be made in terms of administrative simplification. Nowadays, public services and government administration departments with access to this registry can, in theory, no longer demand the production of certificates deemed to be evidence of the accuracy of personal data qualified as being accurate.
Contents of the RNPP
The RNPP contains the following personal information:
- the surname and first name(s);
- national identification number;
- usual place of residence;
- date and place of birth;
- family status;
- nationality or nationalities, or statelessness;
- refugee or subsidiary protection status;
- gender;
- for those who are married, separated, widowed or in partnerships, the national identification numbers, surnames, given names and dates of birth of living or predeceased spouses;
- national identification numbers of parents where parentage has been established, provided that such numbers have been assigned;
- national identification numbers of children where parentage has been established, provided that such numbers have been assigned;
- origin of the data recorded and any modifications made;
- date and place of death;
- nobility titles for members of the royal family.
There is no legal requirement for the RNPP to list preferentially-used first names or aliases that differ from officially recognised first names.
Consulting my personal data
Anyone listed in the RNPP, whether as a resident or non-resident, is entitled to consult their personal data.
Personal data can be consulted online via MyGuichet.lu, provided that the user is the holder of an electronic LuxTrust certificate.
Applications to receive details of personal data can also be addressed:
- either to the communal administration directly;
- or by simple letter to the RNPP.
The application must be dated and signed.
Depending on the applicant's wishes, the data—in the form of an extract from the national registry—can either be forwarded by letter to their usual home address, or printed out at the commune office. The extract is in French, German and Luxembourgish.
Consulting the list of authorities having already consulted my data
All persons listed on the registry are also entitled to consult the list of authorities, government administration departments, services, institutions or bodies which have, in the 6 months prior to the application, consulted or updated their data in the national registry, or have received details of such data.
Such requests cannot be submitted by email.
This information can be accessed directly when data is consulted via MyGuichet.lu, under the "Summary of consultations and updates" tab, or can be requested from the Minister for Digitalisation by postal mail (French, Word - 16 Kb) (preferably by registered letter), enclosing a copy of the applicant's ID card with the application.
It is also possible to send a letter (French, Word - 15 Kb) (preferably by registered mail) to the government administration department in question in which you can inquire why it consulted your personal data. A copy of your ID card/passport must be enclosed with such requests.
Applications have to be dated and signed.
