03The paperwork

A commune, a matricule, a tax card and a login

You declare your arrival at your commune and register there within three months. Your matricule, your social security and your tax card then come from different offices, and you need a LuxTrust or GouvID to sign anything online.

04How Hello Expat helps

Your first three steps in Luxembourg, in order

Your steps depend on where you come from and who you move with. Moovy, your personal assistant, answers from official sources and tells you when it is not sure.

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Register at your commune

    Declare your arrival at your commune, then file your registration declaration within three months. The commune hands you the registration certificate straight away, and it has no expiry date.

    Source: Guichet.lu

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Get your matricule

    Your 13-digit national identification number is assigned when your commune enters you in the national register. If it does not arrive, ask the commune for an extract of your register data.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Check your tax card

    If you work, your employer registers you with the CCSS within 8 days of your start date. The tax authority then issues your tax withholding card automatically, in about 30 working days.

Example conversation

You

I'm French and starting a job in Luxembourg. Can I sign my tax return on MyGuichet with my French digital ID?

Moovy

You can log in with it, because France is on the eIDAS list, once you have your matricule. If it hasn't arrived, you can request it online with the eIDAS procedure. But you can't sign anything with a foreign eIDAS. For a tax return you need a LuxTrust, from €50 for three years, or the Luxembourg eID card with GouvID. Shall I compare the options for you?

    Encrypted

    A vault for your papers

    Your documents are encrypted before they are stored, with a different key for each document, kept apart from our servers. Nobody on the team has a tool to open them. Moovy reads each document you add to file it, and every reading appears in your log. You can delete everything whenever you like.

    When Moovy reads a document, the text is processed by our AI provider, in the United States.

  • Tell us once
