Registering on MyGuichet.lu
Last update
Summary:
Some of the online services available on MyGuichet.lu can only be accessed using 'strong authentication'. This means that you first need to register using an authentication device (such as a LuxTrust product) to create your MyGuichet.lu account before you can use these services.
Once you have registered, you can use the credentials of your authentication device to log in to MyGuichet.lu.
You cannot register directly using the MyGuichet.lu app. You first need to register using a computer (described in detail under 'How to proceed') before you can link a mobile device to your MyGuichet.lu account.
Who is concerned
Any person who is at least 16 years of age and has a 13-digit Luxembourg national identification number (Matricule).
Conditions and prerequisites
- Prerequisites
- Preliminary steps
To register on MyGuichet.lu, you must have:
- a laptop or desktop computer that is connected to the internet;
- an email address; and
- your own authentication device, i.e.:
- a LuxTrust product (LuxTrust Mobile, SmartCard or Scan);
- a Luxembourg electronic identity card (eID);
- an eIDAS-compliant device from another European country.
MyGuichet.lu does not require a specific product. For instance, if you are already using LuxTrust Mobile for your online banking transactions, you can use the same product for MyGuichet.lu.
Every authentication device, with the electronic certificates it contains, represents the digital identity of a single individual. This means that the same authentication device cannot be used by more than one person (even your spouse or other members of your family).
LuxTrust
If you wish to register using one of LuxTrust's authentication products, you must first activate it. LuxTrust products are activated on the official LuxTrust website:
'Lightweight' LuxTrust certificates offer a weaker level of assurance regarding the identity of users and are not sufficient for registering on MyGuichet.lu.
Luxembourg electronic identity card (eID)
If you wish to register using a Luxembourg electronic identity card (eID), the electronic authentication and signature certificates it contains must be activated.
These certificates are activated when you apply for a new identity card. For more information, please visit the website of the Government IT Centre (CTIE).
eIDAS-compliant device from another European country
If you wish to register using an eIDAS-compliant device issued in your country, but do not yet have a 13-digit Luxembourg national identification number (Matricule), you must first apply for one. For more information, please consult the relevant help page:
How to proceed
Please note that you have to use a laptop or desktop computer to register. Registration is not possible via a browser on a mobile device (smartphone or tablet), nor via the MyGuichet.lu app. If necessary, computers with internet access are available at the Guichet.lu reception desk.
Application for registration
Click on the button below to start:
- You will be automatically redirected to the Luxembourg State authentication portal (eAccess): select the authentication method that corresponds to your device.
- Follow the steps that correspond to your authentication device.
Fill in the mandatory fields marked with an asterisk (*).
Your surname(s) and first name(s) are automatically read from your authentication device and cannot be changed.
If you notice an error and wish to have it corrected, you must contact the body that issued the authentication device (e.g. for LuxTrust products, you should contact the LuxTrust customer service). In such a case, you will have to wait until all the corrections have been made before applying to register on MyGuichet.lu.
Your email address is also read from your authentication device. It is important to check that it is correct and that you can still access it. Otherwise, replace it with an up-to-date address to which you do have access, as the confirmation email (required to complete the registration procedure) will be sent to that address.
The identification number is your 13-digit Luxembourg national identification number (Matricule). You will find this number on your social security card, if you have one. Make sure you enter it without any spaces or special characters (dashes, forward slashes, etc.).
It is important to check that all your details are correct. Otherwise, you may experience problems during the registration procedure.
- Click on 'Register' to receive the confirmation email.
Registration confirmation
- Check the inbox of the email address you entered during the registration procedure.
- Open the email you received from usermanagement@security.public.lu and click on 'Confirm my registration'.
It is important to open the confirmation email on the same computer and in the same browser that you used for the previous steps. Do not open the email on a mobile device (whether using the browser or your email provider's app). If you do, an error will occur and you will be unable to complete the registration procedure.
- You will be automatically redirected to the Luxembourg State authentication portal (eAccess): select the authentication method that corresponds to your device.
- Follow the steps that correspond to your authentication device.
- After authentication, you will be automatically redirected to the 'Last step to register in the application' page: accept the conditions of use by ticking the appropriate box.
- Click on 'Register'.
You have successfully registered with MyGuichet.lu.
You will then be automatically redirected to your MyGuichet.lu account. To use the online services that require authentication, you still need to create your personal eSpace. A personal eSpace can be either a private eSpace or a business eSpace:
You will also receive a letter confirming your registration with an online public service within a few days. This letter will be sent to the address that is registered for you in the National Registry of Natural Persons (RNPP).
Frequently asked questions
Sometimes, the error message 'Your National Identification Number seems to be incorrect' may appear when you try to register on MyGuichet.lu. There can be several reasons for this:
You have not entered your national identification number correctly.
Make sure that your national identification number (Matricule) is entered correctly: the Luxembourg national identification number always consists of 13 digits and must be entered without any spaces or special characters (dashes, forward slashes, etc.).
You will find your national identification number on your social security card, if you have one.
The details linked to your authentication device do not match those registered in the RNPP.
Regardless of the authentication device you are using (whether it is a physical device like the LuxTrust Scan, or the LuxTrust Mobile app), it is linked to electronic certificates that allow you to prove your identity online. These electronic certificates also contain details about you (including your surname(s) and first name(s)).
If you use your authentication device to register on MyGuichet.lu, the following step is performed for security reasons: based on the national identification number you have entered, the details linked to your authentication device are compared with the details registered for you in the National Registry of Natural Persons (RNPP). If a discrepancy is found, registration will not be possible.
Such a situation can arise if either the details linked to your authentication device or the details registered in the RNPP are incorrect or not up to date (for example, because there is a typing error in your name, or you have since got married or divorced).
If you have made sure that you have entered your national identification number correctly and you are still seeing the error message, first check the details linked to your authentication device.
If you have a LuxTrust product or a Luxembourg electronic identity card (eID), you can perform the check using LuxTrust's 'Test my certificate' service:
Please then contact our Helpdesk by sending an email to support@guichet.etat.lu. In your request, you must:
- specify that you received an error message relating to your national identification number when attempting to register on MyGuichet.lu;
- attach the following documents:
- the details of the certificate contained in your authentication device:
- in PDF format, which you can download using LuxTrust's 'Test my certificate' service;
- in the form of a complete, legible screenshot on which your surname(s) and first name(s) and the certificate's SSN are clearly visible;
- a copy of your social security card;
- a copy of your valid identity card or passport (a residence permit is not sufficient);
- a copy of your marriage certificate (if your official surname is different from the one linked to your authentication device).
- the details of the certificate contained in your authentication device:
To ensure that our Helpdesk can process your request quickly and efficiently, the information you submit must be complete and include all the documents referred to above. Please also follow the instructions below:
- Make sure that any documents in PDF or JPEG/PNG format are legible.
- Avoid blurred or cropped photos.
- Do not mask any information that appears in the documents.
You can also submit the documents using the OTX ('One Time eXchange') platform. This is a government platform that can be used to exchange files securely.
If you would like to use this submission method, do not attach the documents directly to your email. Instead, specify that you would prefer to send them using the OTX platform. Our Helpdesk will then send you a unique link, which you can use to upload the documents. A user guide to the OTX platform is available on the Government IT Centre (CTIE) website.
Once your request has been processed, our Helpdesk will contact you as soon as possible to explain what happens next.
