Luxembourgish Citizenship Act
Parliament of Luxembourg
An Act relating to Luxembourgish citizenship
Enacted by	Government of Luxembourg
Status: Current legislation

Luxembourgish nationality law is ruled by the Constitution of Luxembourg. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a member state of the European Union and, therefore, its citizens are also EU citizens.

Naturalization is permitted under several conditions:

Obtaining nationality by option is permitted to, among others :

It is also possible to "recover" Luxembourg nationality if one can prove he had an ancestor who was Luxembourgish as of 1 January 1900. The Luxembourg diaspora at the time moved to France, Belgium and the US. As of the end of 2013, thousands of people recovered the nationality of their Luxembourgish ancestor.

Since 1 January 2009, Luxembourg has allowed dual citizenship. Since then, many Belgians have made use of the new law to adopt Belgian-Luxembourgish citizenship, especially Belgians living in Arelerland, a part of the Belgian province of Luxembourg at the border with the Grand Duchy.

After the amendments to the nationality law which took effect in April 2017, nationality is normally awarded by jus sanguinis with limited jus soli provisions. However, one may request Luxembourgish nationality through naturalisation or option.

Because Luxembourg forms part of the European Union, Luxembourgish citizens are also citizens of the European Union under European Union law and thus enjoy rights of free movement and have the right to vote in elections for the European Parliament. When in a non-EU country where there is no Luxembourgish embassy, Luxembourgish citizens have the right to get consular protection from the embassy of any other EU country present in that country. Luxembourgish citizens can live and work in any country within the EU as a result of the right of free movement and residence granted in Article 21 of the EU Treaty.
