Discovering Luxembourg
Typical required documents to bring (as applicable):
Passport
Two biometric photographs
Employment contract
Residence card of the EU national that you are related to
Marriage and/or divorce certificate
Birth certificates for children
If you are moving within Luxembourg, declaration of departure issued by the former
commune of residence
Steps:
Once you are registered, you will sign an application for a
“Carte de séjour de
membre de famile”
and will receive a copy of the application for your records
You will be able to request a parking permit immediately at the commune, based on
the address of your current residence. The first permit is free, but a fee is charged for
additional stickers
The application will be sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which will issue the
residence card within 6 months
The fee is 50€ per residence card application. The funds must be transferred to the
account of the Ministry of Foreign affairs via bank transfer
Once the residence card has been issued, you will receive a letter requesting pick-up
Once the residence permit is processed, you may request a certificate of residence
Additional considerations:
All documents in a language other than German, French or English must be
translated by a certified translator
Two visits are required to complete the registration, if all necessary documentation is
received: one to register at the commune, and another to pick-up the residence card
At the last two months before the expiration of the residence permit, you must apply
for a renewal by sending application to the Immigration Directorate of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs at address B.P. 752, L-2017 Luxembourg
Children over the age of 10 will need to complete the same registration requirements
as their parents. The same is for children below the age of 10 years, except they do
not have to visit offices in-person. Children under 10 who are not EU citizens will only
need to be present to pick up their residence permit at the Ministry
It is recommended that you also register with your local consulate or embassy in
order to renew passport, national identity card, etc. while in Luxembourg
Note that in addition to the registration, all individuals working in Luxembourg must
undergo an immigration-specific medical exam
Every commune in Luxembourg is autonomous, so registration procedures may vary. Your
Dwellworks Consultant will advise on commune-specific requirements outside of
Luxembourg City, if applicable. Please visi
