Passport Applications from Canada
Luxembourg citizens residing outside Luxembourg can normally apply for a biometric passport through an accredited Luxembourg diplomatic or consular mission.
In Canada, however, the Embassy in Ottawa currently states that passport applications continue to be processed by the Consulate General of Belgium in Montreal.
Applicants should therefore not send a passport application to the Ottawa Embassy unless specifically instructed to do so.
Passport applications require personal attendance as part of Luxembourg’s biometric passport procedure. Applicants should check the current instructions of the responsible mission before arranging travel.
Current Canadian arrangement: Passport applications are presently handled by the Consulate General of Belgium in Montreal rather than by the Luxembourg Embassy in Ottawa.
