LuxTrust is a Luxembourg trust service provider founded in 2005 that issues digital credentials for authentication and signing, with its infrastructure located in Luxembourg and supervised by the national security authority ILNAS. The government has kept it as the main provider.

Is the Luxembourg EU wallet available?

Not as a confirmed public launch as of October 2026. The existing GouvID app is being upgraded, and Luxembourg must offer a national wallet by 24 December 2026 under EU rules.

Do I need the EU wallet to use Luxembourg e-government?

No. The wallet is voluntary, and existing LuxTrust and eID routes continue.

Digital ID in Luxembourg: eID card, LuxTrust, EU wallet

Q: Can I use my foreign eID on MyGuichet.lu?

Luxembourg connects its portal to the eIDAS network, and reporting mentions logins with credentials from 22 EU countries, including all of Luxembourg's neighbours. Availability can change, so check the portal before you rely on it.

In Luxembourg you identify yourself online with LuxTrust credentials or with the national eID card, which unlock MyGuichet.lu and other e-government services. The national EU wallet builds on the existing GouvID app and is not confirmed as launched as of October 2026.

The national system

Luxembourg combines a state-issued eID card with credentials from LuxTrust, a trust service provider founded in 2005. The government decided against seeking an alternative provider, citing security and data sovereignty: the LuxTrust infrastructure is located in Luxembourg and supervised by ILNAS. Electronic identity documents carry chips, and certificates used for digital signatures are renewed every five years, with discussions about extending this to ten. The state portal MyGuichet.lu is the central gateway for administrative procedures. It is connected to the eIDAS network; Luxembourg’s notified scheme is the national identity card at the high level, and our guide to levels of assurance explains what that tier means.

How to get it and use it

The eID card is issued by the competent authorities and is the basis of the notified scheme. LuxTrust credentials, such as tokens, cards and a mobile app, can be obtained through LuxTrust and its partners, often via a bank or the service itself; availability and prices are set by the provider. To log in to MyGuichet.lu you pick the method offered on the login page and follow the prompts. For signatures with legal weight, a qualified signature is explained in our related guide on qualified electronic signatures.

The EU wallet in Luxembourg (October 2026)

Under the revised eIDAS Regulation Luxembourg must provide at least one national wallet by 24 December 2026. The Ministry for Digitalisation and CTIE took part in the large-scale pilot POTENTIAL in four use cases: e-government services, bank account opening, mobile driving licence and qualified electronic signature. Independent trackers in September 2026 describe the existing GouvID app as being upgraded into the wallet, with INCERT as wallet provider, HOPAE as services partner and LuxTrust as the qualified trust service partner. The assurance level is set to high, but no public launch date is announced. Our overview of the EU Digital Identity Wallet explains the scope.

Use abroad and by foreigners

Luxembourg is a cross-border country: many workers live in Belgium, France or Germany. The portal’s connection to eIDAS is therefore practical, and reporting mentions logins with credentials from 22 EU countries, including all of Luxembourg’s neighbours. The reverse also holds for the notified eID card abroad, subject to what each service has connected. Our guide to cross-border eID lists the checks. Non-citizens living in Luxembourg should ask the authorities and LuxTrust which credentials they can get.

Which method should you choose?

Which route fits depends on how you live and work. Residents who deal with MyGuichet.lu regularly will probably want a LuxTrust credential, since it is the established way in and is also used by banks and other services. The eID card is the right choice if you want the notified high-level scheme without a separate product, provided you have a reader or a supported device. Cross-border workers can often use the eID of their country of residence if the service is connected to eIDAS, but test this on the specific service before a deadline. The GouvID-based wallet is worth watching, but it should be treated as an addition rather than a reason to postpone setting up what already works.

Privacy and security

Keep tokens, PINs and the mobile app separate from other secrets, and never share a one-time code. Only use MyGuichet.lu and LuxTrust through their official addresses; fake pages imitating them are a common phishing pattern. Because Luxembourg keeps the infrastructure on its territory under national supervision, data sovereignty is part of the design, but you should still review what each service asks for.
