As of July 2014, Luxembourgish people who are resident in the USA will be able to apply for a Luxembourgish electronic identity card. The card will be delivered on demand on the condition that the applicant is registered in the National Natural Persons Registry (RNPP).
The new ID will contain an electronic chip on which certain data are stored. Each citizen aged 18 or more will be able to use two certificates on their identity card that allow him/her to:
- digitally sign documents and transactions online, with equivalent legal value than a handwritten signature;
- have secure access to public and private online applications.
Send an email to : newyork.consular@mae.etat.lu to request an ID card once your personal information has been updated by Registre des Personnes Physiques (RNPP). See the Passport page to learn how.
For the first Luxembourgish ID: you are required to request a nationality certificate – certificat de nationalité – from the Luxembourg Ministry of Justice or a valid Luxembourgish Passport.
