Get Your Luxembourg Citizenship by Descent
If you have Luxembourg roots, you may be eligible to reclaim your citizenship. This is your chance to reconnect with your heritage and enjoy the benefits of being an EU citizen
How Luxembourg Citizenship by Descent Works
Luxembourg follows the principle of jus sanguinis (right of blood), meaning citizenship can be passed down through family ties. If you can prove a direct ancestor born in Luxembourg before January 1, 1900, you may qualify to regain citizenship—even if your family emigrated generations ago
Who is Eligible for Luxembourg Citizenship?
There are several ways to claim your Luxembourg citizenship. Eligibility routes include:
Article 7: A male ancestor born in Luxembourg between 1815–1943, where the surname has been passed down father to son.
Article 23: A parent or grandparent who was a Luxembourg citizen, but that citizenship was not transmitted to the next generation.
Combination of Articles 7 & 23: In some cases, both provisions apply to confirm eligibility.
This process requires reconstructing your family tree, locating historic documents, and submitting a formal application to Luxembourg authorities. An in-person trip to Luxembourg is required to finalize the procedure.
