Certify documents issued in Canada and abroad for official use in Luxembourg
Isarey works across multiple jurisdictions to legalize international documents so that they are valid for submission to Luxembourg authorities.
We legalize all types of official documents for use in Luxembourg, including identity documents, birth and marriage certificates, criminal record certificates, academic diplomas and corporate documents.
We work locally with certification specialists, notaries, law firms and certifiedLuxembourgish, German and Frenchtranslators in over 100 countries, certifying documents for use in Luxembourg, including documents issued in:
Luxembourg is a signatory to the 
Hague Apostille Convention. This means that official documents issued in other signatory countries can be certified by an Apostille Stamp in the country where they have been issued. This stamp will generally be accepted directly by Luxembourg authorities as confirmation of the document’s authenticity without need for further certification in Luxembourg.
However, documents from non-Apostille countries must be legalized by the authorities of the issuing country and then attested by the local Luxembourg embassy or consulate. This applies to documents in countries such as: United Arab Emirates - Taiwan - Malaysia - Thailand - Qatar
Submission within the European Union
Certain documents do not require Apostilles for submission to authorities in Luxembourg when they are issued in another European Union Member State (the receiving authority should accept the original or a certified copy).
When applying for certain public documents, a multilingual standard form may be requested to accompany the original. A multilingual standard form must always be issued and signed by an authority of the EU country where the public document is issued, providing a translation aid designed to help the receiving authority to understand a public document which is in a language not accepted by Luxembourg.
See: EU Multilingual standard forms
Documents not requiring Apostilles for use in Luxembourg include birth, death, marriage certificates, absence of a criminal record (a clean criminal record of a citizen of the issuing country), certificates of nationality and residence:
See: Regulation (EU) 2016/1191
Other documents, including academic certificates, still require Apostille certification and certified translation to be valid in Luxembourg.
Civil status certificates (multilingual extracts from the civil status registers)
Birth, marriage and death certificates should not require Apostille Stamps for submission in Luxembourg when issued in accordance with the conventions of the International Commission on Civil and Civil Status by one of following countries:
Austria, Belgium, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cape Verde, Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey

Certified Translation
When documents are written in a language that is not an official language of Luxembourg, then a certified translation may also be required. It is important to ensure that the certified translation is valid for use in Luxembourg. Translations not done in Luxembourg may require separate legalization alongside the original document.
Isarey provides document attestation services to private, corporate and institutional clients worldwide. Our presence in different jurisdictions and our local experience and expertise dealing directly with authorities and embassies in different countries means we can save you time, frustration and money, ensuring that documents are properly prepared so that they are accepted by Luxembourg authorities.
