Living in Luxembourg

Luxembourg is a small country, therefore it is rather easy to approach the respective authorities. The steps to take in order to get various documents are simplified, especially for personal documents.
In order to further simplify the relationship between administrations and citizens, the City of Luxembourg set up a unique counter called Biergercenter, where you can obtain useful information and where you can deal with the basic administrative tasks.
