The commercial register of Luxembourg (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés – RCS) is a public information source that contains data on all active legal entities referred to in the amended Act of 19 December 2002. The administration of the register is under the supervision of the Ministry of Justice of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The Ministry has delegated its authority over the register to a local economic interest grouping, GIE RCSL, which consists of the State, the Chamber of Commerce (Chambre de Commerce) and the Chamber of Trades (Chambre des Métiers).
The business register of Luxembourg has existed for more than 100 years; it was created in 1909. It switched to the electronic form in 2003, when it was transferred to the Ministry of Justice. The entries made before 2003 are now being digitised. The plan is to make all entries ever made available in the digital database.

Luxembourg register of beneficiaries
Following the adoption of the Fourth EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive (4AMLD) in 2017, Luxembourg law requires all companies to identify their ultimate beneficiaries and provide information to the Luxembourg Business Register (LBR), which then regularly publishes it in the Register of Beneficial Owners of Companies.
Luxembourg Law " On the Register of Beneficial Owners "(Registre des Bénéficiaires Effectifs (RBE)) covers a wide range of structures, forms and types of enterprises.
Both companies and partnerships are subject to this legislation, regardless of whether they are regulated or not. These are such forms of enterprises as: SA, SCA, Sàrl, SCS, SCSp, SE, SNC, GIE, SAS, SC.
The legislation also applies to investment funds. These are structures such as: UCITS, Part II Fund, SIF, SICAR, RAIF, and other types of AIF. The Luxembourg General Funds (FCP) are also subject to the New Law, although they were initially excluded, as well as foreign branches of commercial corporations and public organizations.
The following information is provided to the registry:
- First and last name
- Date of birth
- Identification number
- Citizenship
- Country of residence
- Basis of ownership
Apostille for extracts from Luxembourg
Luxembourg acceded to the The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents on 4 April 1979.
Therefore, the documents issued in Luxembourg are subject to a simplified apostilling procedure, thus the documents gain full legal value in Convention member states after certified translation.
Apostilling usually takes about two weeks.
In addition, you can order certified translation from German or French.
