Recognition of Citizenship: Article 7

If you did not apply for Luxembourg Dual Citizenship before 2018, don’t fret! There is still a possibility to apply for citizenship. You might be eligible. We’ll explain how.

Individuals who have an all-male family lineage that goes back to a male ancestor from Luxembourg can apply for proof of Luxembourg Dual Citizenship. In some cases, you can also benefit from Article 7 dual citizenship if your mother had an all-male lineage before her.

Who Is Eligible Under Article 7?

You have a male ancestor who was born in Luxembourg between 1815-1943 or who otherwise had Luxembourg nationality
AND, all previous generations in your family line have passed from a father to son leading up to your father
OR, your mother had an all-male lineage before her AND you were born after January 1, 1969
