Luxembourg matricule for non-residents: what it is used for

A di­rec­tor or share­hold­er who does not live in Lux­em­bourg may need a na­tion­al iden­ti­fi­ca­tion number, the ma­tricule, to appear in the company's for­mal­i­ties.

In brief : Lux­em­bourg ma­tricule for a non-res­i­dent person: use for com­pa­nies, ben­e­fi­cial owners, banking and filings. Process and doc­u­ments.

Why request it

The ma­tricule iden­ti­fies the person in deal­ings with the au­thor­i­ties, notably for certain filings and for the man­age­ment of di­rec­tor­ships and ben­e­fi­cial owners. A non-res­i­dent person may there­fore be asked to obtain one.

How to proceed

The process goes through the com­pe­tent au­thor­i­ty and re­quires iden­ti­ty doc­u­ments and proof of address. Exact pro­ce­dures change and must be con­firmed when ap­ply­ing. We prepare the file with you and check the doc­u­ments.

What we do not do

We do not replace the au­thor­i­ty and do not guar­an­tee its timing. We only avoid back and forth caused by an in­com­plete file.

STYX Cor­po­rate Ser­vices holds company man­dates and co­or­di­nates for­mal­i­ties. The busi­ness re­la­tion­ship entry audit is a pre­lim­i­nary di­ag­no­sis, not a statu­to­ry audit of the ac­counts. It does not keep books, does not prepare ac­counts, and pro­vides no statu­to­ry audit, domi­cil­i­a­tion, or legal or tax advice, and holds no client funds. When a reg­u­lat­ed en­gage­ment is needed, it refers you to the com­pe­tent pro­fes­sion­al: notary, ap­proved statu­to­ry auditor, ac­coun­tant, domi­cil­i­a­tion agent.
