Frequently Asked Questions

For many of our clients, citizenship provides a sense of belonging and connection to their family roots and history.

Timelines vary by case and depend largely on how quickly the client submits full documentation to our team after signing up. On average, once we submit the application to Luxembourg, ministry processing takes about 90 days.

Not sure if anyone has applied through your ancestor? Search our verified ancestors database to see whether we have already worked with a client who shares the same Luxembourgish ancestor.

Yes, your family member may join your application as long as we have not yet submitted your application to Luxembourg for processing. In any case, they may also apply separately and would be able to reference your application so that they won't need to resubmit the same records as you.
